JACK NISSENTHALL was born in 1919 of Jewish Polish parents in the East End of London. At an early age he became fascinated by the new science of electronics. He worked at EMI assembling, installing and maintaining television sets in pre-war London. While working at EMI, he was asked to volunteer at Bawdsey, aiding Watson-Watt’s team. This forged the lifelong link with radar and the scientists who developed it.
