Alan Dower Blumlein was a genius and has been described as the
greatest British electronics engineer of the twentieth century.
Although he was tragically killed at the age of 38, he contributed
enormously to the fields of telephony and electrical measurements,
monophonic and stereophonic recording and reproduction, high
definition television, electronics, antennas and cables, and radar
systems of various types. His accidental death in June 1942 was
described by an Air Chief Marshal as 'a catastrophe', and the
Secretary of State for Air said that 'it would be impossible to
over-rate the importance of the work on which [Blumlein was]
engaged': his loss was a 'national disaster'. He was responsible
for saving many thousands of lives during the Second World War, and
his endeavours in peacetime led to pleasure being given to millions
of people. This meticulous, extensively researched and
well-referenced book presents a balanced account of the life and
times of a brilliant engineer. It is certain to be the major
biographical source on Blumlein for all historians of technology
and science.
