From 1933 to 1939 Henry Booker worked on radio wave propagation with Jack Ratcliffe at the Cavendish Laboratories in Cambridge.  He became head of the Maths Group at Worth working on radio propagation, reflection and refraction which helped innovation of new antenna designs to improve the radar performance.

After the war he returned to Cambridge University for three years as a lecturer.  In 1948 he moved to Cornell University in the United States.
