Actually the thing that made allied radar better than
German during the war wasn't so much the magnetron,
that as mentioned had been copied. It was the rotating
beam on the screen. I don't know why they didn't have this,
only that it did make a large difference in how effective
the radar was.
There was a great documentary on The History Channel a few nights ago
about the role radar played in WWII, and made a compelling case that it is
the one thing that won the war.
