Radar Station B-25

Radar Station B-25 is a location in the Eden Pond Series.

Details

Construction of Radar Station B-25 began in 1943 by the U.S. Army on the Oregon Coast at Cape Meares. Located above Short Beach, it was part of a series of radar installations intended to provide an early warning of attack by Japanese aircraft against the west coast of the United States in the aftermath of the Japanese capture of the islands of Attu and Kiska in the Aleutian archipelago.

The body of Harry Pond was found on Short Beach, not far from the planned radar station site, though long before construction began. Some, arguably among the more fraught and imaginative, believed he was killed by Japanese commandos who came ashore from a submarine to scout the area in anticipation of invasion.
