An article from the Gernsback magazine Radio-Craft, 04/1946. It's on Project Diana, an American project to be the first to bounce a radar signal off the Moon.
The author and man on the cover, was John H. DeWitt, asked by the Army if radar could penetrate the ionosphere to detect missiles in space. He went above and beyond, so to speak.
The idea of using the Moon as a reflector eventually led to this 1960 image of USS Hancock sent to D.C. from Honolulu via the lunar surface.
Durch Birkenblätterregen in den #Wald. Ich geb's auf, das wird nichts mehr mit #Pilzen dieses Jahr.

Wo sind die Leute, die #Vogelschwärme auf #Radar erkennen? Aktuell muß der Himmel voller Vögel sein.
"Deliberately grounded on a tiny reef in the #SouthChinaSea, part of an island chain claimed by the two Asian countries, the #BRPSierraMadre is now the unlikely base for a detachment of Filipino marines who stand guard over the atoll, scanning the turquoise waters for Chinese ships." #AyunginShoal#SecondThomasShoal#Philippines
