Chris.

Glide Path by Arthur C. Clarke is an only slightly fictionalised account of
the development during the war of a radar assisted landing system. Required
reading for anybody involved in system development. There's an especially
good bit about what to do with a few thousand gallons of aviation fuel and
a fogged in airport.

Yes indeed: "Fog, Intensive, Dispersal Of" (see also eBay item 20054749000)

Chris (and it's a very good book, too).
