Britain’s Death Ray Defence Aims To Shield Isles
A high Air Ministry official told the Sunday Chronicle that Britain will be protected from heavy bomber raids in five years by an invisible radiation barrier. The plan relies on new death ray experiments and shielded aircraft, with tests using high electrical power to create a screen that could stop invaders at 25 000 to 30 000 feet. Two or more scientists in selected labs are advancing a ray with greater penetration than prior weapons, promising a formidable frontline defence against aerial attack.
