World War II Carbon Arc Anti-Aircraft Searchlight battle of Los Angeles
A demonstration on how a W.W. II Carbon Arc Searchlight tracked aircraft by remote control as shown by R. Lee Ermey in his History Channel show
"MAIL CALL".
The demonstration takes place at the annual re-enactment of the Great LA Air Raid of 1942 at the Fort MacArthur Museum in San Pedro California in February 2006.
This is a restored General Electric Carbon Arc Anti-aircraft Searchlight from W.W. II that was restored in April of 2003. These Searchlights were used to spot enemy aircraft before the invention of Radar. During the war, Radar was perfected and Searchlights were no longer needed. Many of them were scrapped, and many became advertising lights. Searchlights were used by all countries that were involved in W.W. II. This unit was considered Top Secret and High Tech at the time. This is a demonstration of how the control station was used with the searchlight to track aircraft.
