  There are some intersting discussions about Whirlwind in the book THE
INVENTION THAT CHANGED THE WORLD: HOW A SMALL GROUP OF RADAR PIONEERS WON
THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND LAUNCHED A TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION. I HIGHLY
recommend the book. There is a lot of interesting stuff in it besides the
Whirlwind story.
