La Luftwaffe avait PEUR d'atterrir à cause de lui : Le de Havilland DH 98 Mosquito
How an RAF crew turned German technology against the Luftwaffe, and why German night fighters never flew safely again. On November 4, 1944, Squadron Leader Branse Burbridge took off from RAF Swannington in his Mosquito. On board was a Serrate detector, a device capable of picking up the signals from the Lichtenstein radars mounted on German night fighters. The Luftwaffe considered its radar undetectable. The German high command deemed any interception impossible. They were all wrong. What Burbridge and his navigator, Bill Skelton, discovered that night wasn't a matter of piloting skill. It was about using the enemy's own technology against them, in a way that contradicted everything the Luftwaffe believed to be safe. The mission that followed would determine whether this stealth hunting technique could work deep within enemy territory, and whether German night fighters would ever feel safe again. This technique spread from crew to crew in RAF squadrons before it even appeared in any training manual. The Serrate principles developed at Swannington continue to influence electronic warfare tactics today.
