Mrs. Jeanne Pettifer returns to Molesworth 63 years after making her last delivery
Mrs. Jeanne Pettifer returns to RAF Molesworth some 63 years after making her last delivery of then-secret radar components to the U.S. 303rd Bomb Group (Heavy). A civilian member of the British Telecommuncations Research Establishment which invented radar, she gave up a boring office job to drive a van delivering radar equipment to British and American airfields. On August 20th she returned delivering her son, Dr. James Pettifer, a professor at the Defence Academy of the UK. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Staff Sergeant Chad E. Chisholm)
