Discover how one Cambridge mathematician's "forbidden" geometric shortcut revolutionized RAF bombing accuracy in WWII. When Bomber Command's expensive H2S radar failed to improve targeting in 1943, Group Captain Dudley Saward realized navigators were drowning in trigonometric calculations during combat. His solution—measuring angles visually instead of calculating them—was dismissed as "ungentlemanly" by senior officers but improved accuracy by 600% in secret trials. Learn how this rejected innovation overcame institutional resistance, transformed the strategic bombing campaign, and influenced modern aviation navigation systems. Featuring declassified operational data, crew testimonies, and the surprising story of how military bureaucracy nearly buried the technique that helped win the air war over Germany.
