Just because it's too good not to share ....
Dad's airline was the first to do quite a few long distance routes across the Pacific. They had worked up a doppler radar drift sensor, which apparently did not work (at all) as well as hoped since calm seas gave the thing nothing to obtain a return from. They were intercepted, fired on and forced down.
