Ex U S Officer Claims Giving Radar Secrets to Russian General
Former Air Force captain Loyd Chesley testified that in 1944 he gave top secret American radar information to a Soviet general during a 45 minute inspection at an Air Force base in Ireland.

He also cited a separate report of a radar equipped aircraft in Soviet possession. Washington lawmakers probe Canadian atomic material sales to Russia during World War II and seek to compel an unidentified top executive to testify.
