Electronics played an important role in WW2 and literally thousands of books and articles treat the subject in depth. Briefly stated although the first electronic computer was not made during WW2 it followed less than 16 months after VJ day and was a direct descendent of the hybrid electro-mechanical computers used for code breaking (ie The Bronze Goddess of the Ultra cryptographers) and ballistic work. Other notable feats of electronic wizardry include the Proximity Fuze (Johns Hopkins Applied Physics laboratory Silver Spring MD), Microwave megatron Radar (Britain and MIT) "Huff Duff" beam detection (Britain) Television aided bomb guidance (Germany) Electronic beam navigation and bombing sighting (Germany) radio telemetry guidance (Germany) ASDIC and SONAR (Britain) not to mention all the electronics involved in the Manhattan project (nuclear weapons). These are just a few of thousands of examples of electronics applications in the Second World War.
