There has only ever been one full book on Operation Biting, George Millar’s The Bruneval Raid (The Bodley Head, London), published in 1974. Hilary St George Saunders produced a book on the Parachute Regiment in 1950 called The Red Beret (Michael Joseph, London), which included a chapter on the Bruneval Raid. The book is excellent for information on the origins of the Parachute Regiment, but the section on Operation Biting has many errors and omissions. In 1978 R.V. Jones released his autobiography, Most Secret War (Hamish Hamilton, London), containing much information on the beginnings of British radar and his part in the location of the Würzburg at Bruneval.
For those interested in the early development of radar two books are of note: Winning the Radar War (Robert Hale, London, 1989), written by Jack Nissen with A.W. Cockerill and Instruments of Darkness (William Kimber, London, 1967) by Alfred Price.
Many original reports and documents relating to the Bruneval Raid and the captured German radar equipment can be found in the National Archives at Kew in London. The principal documents used in the preparation of this book are listed below.
