Tail warning radars were extensively fitted in late ww2
The AN/APS-13 was made for fighters. This was a
low-power pulse radar set, operating that flashed a
red light and rang a bell when an enemy
aircraft was approaching from the rear.

They were fitted to later model P-51D's , P-38L's,
P-47D's and P-61's


Never heard of this for all these aircraft. Never even
heard of it for aircraft during the Korean War.

Did it actually work?


Apparently it did.
