The Night Fighter Who Saw in the Dark John Cunningham & the AI Radar Team

November 1940 — the skies over England were black, silent, and deadly. German bombers struck under cover of night, invisible to the human eye. But Flight Lieutenant John Cunningham and his radar operator Jimmy Rawnsley had a secret weapon — one that could see what no man could. This is the true story of the RAF’s first radar-guided night fighter — and the team that changed aerial combat forever. Using AI Mk IV Airborne Interception radar, Cunningham became the first pilot in history to hunt and destroy enemy aircraft in total darkness, guided only by the glowing green blips on a secret screen. Behind this miracle of war was Welsh scientist Edward “Taffy” Bowen, whose revolutionary radar technology gave the RAF the power to turn the night itself into a battlefield. From lab experiments at Bawdsey Manor to dogfights over Kent, this is how science, skill, and trust between three men helped win the night — and birthed the legend of “Cat’s Eyes” Cunningham.
