Although the product of a self-proclaimed consensus politics, the
British Empire was always based on communications supremacy and the
knowledge of the atmosphere. Using the metaphor of a thread of five
pieces representing the categories science, industry, government,
the military, and the education, this is the first book to study
the relations between wireless and Empire throughout the interwar
period. It is also the first to make full use of the abundant
archive material and rich sources existing in Britain and the
Dominions. The book examines the evolving connection between the
development of imperial radio communications and atmospheric
physics; the expansion and strength of the British radio industry
and its relationship with the elucidation of the ionosphere; and
the different extent to which Australia, Canada and New Zealand
managed to emulate the British model of radio R&D in the
interwar years. The book ends with a highly original and
provocative epilogue: 'The realist interpretation of the
atmosphere'.
