Historical Context - John

Chris Xue and Jaemin Shin

John was born in the 1930's. The first major event of his life is WWII. He was very young when WWII broke out, and he was able to avoid the draft. Our system model tries to recreate the process of how John fixed a radar during the war period. He was an amateur aeronautical engineer before being recruited by the navy. After he joined, he became an electrical engineer and started learning about radars. Radars, according to John, were top-secret technology that no other country had. John learned about radars for 10 months before the war ended, meaning he was involved in the war during the last year: 1944-1945. 

In 1943, Mussolini surrendered after his government fell in Sicily and Italy
