Bay, Zoltán, Interviewee. Oral history interview conducted on October 1, 1980 by Woodruff T. Sullivan III at Bay's home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, as part of Sullivan's research for his book, Cosmic Noise: A History of Early Radio Astronomy (Cambridge University Press, 2009). Topics include Bay's career as a physicist in Hungary (1925-1940); development of radar in his Budapest lab (1942-1945); his several attempts to bounce radar off the moon, with technical details about the experiment.
Brown, Louis (1999). A Radar History of World War II: Technical and Military Imperatives. Institute of Physics Publishing. This very readable book not only gives a succinct account of the scientific importance of Project Diana and Zoltán Bay's successful moon bounce experiments, it also provides the most complete account I have read of the accidental Telefunken observations.
Buderi, Robert (1996).The Invention that Changed the World: How a Small Group of Radar Pioneers Won the Second World War and Launched a Technological Revolution. Simon & Schuster. This book deals mostly with the MIT "Rad Lab" but takes a 4-page detour to describe Project Diana at Camp Evans, because no history of radar would be complete without this "Army coup," as Buderi called it.

in Pomerleau, Cindy Stodola (2021). To the Moon and Back: Essays on the Life and Times of Project Diana, written by the daughter of E. King Stodola, Chief Scientist on Project Diana. Nearly half the book is devoted to the history of radar at Camp Evans, starting with its fumbling beginnings at Pearl Harbor and culminating in the stunning success of Project Diana. The remaining two sections are devoted to King Stodola and his family background, and to the author's Jersey Shore childhood in postwar America. Available on amazon.com and in the InfoAge Store.
