The Pinetree Line was a series of radar stations located across the northern United States and southern Canada at about the 50th parallel north, along with a number of other stations located on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Run by North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) (after its creation), over half were staffed by United States Air Force personnel with the balance operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force. The line was the first coordinated system for early detection of a Soviet bomber attack on North America, but before the early 1950s radar technology quickly became outdated and the line was in full operation only for a short time.

  • La ligne Pinetree (Pinetree Line) était un réseau de 33 stations radar sous juridiction canado-américaine s’échelonnant le long du 49e parallèle. À la suite des obligations créées par le , la ligne de défense Pinetree a été établie afin de protéger le territoire américain d'une attaque aérienne passant par le territoire canadien. La construction de la ligne s'est terminée en 1954. La technologie rendant les installations rapidement caduques, elle fut successivement remplacée par la ligne Mid-Canada et la ligne DEW, chacune plus au nord. (fr)

  • La Pinetree Line era una linea immaginaria creata da una serie di stazioni radar distribuite al confine tra Stati Uniti e Canada che andava dalla costa atlantica a quella del pacifico. Gestita prevalentemente dal NORAD la Pinetree Line fu la prima linea radar costruita per localizzare un eventuale attacco sovietico. Ciò nonostante l'intera Pinetree Line fu utilizzata solamente per un periodo brevissimo. La tecnologia delle apparecchiature radar nei primi anni cinquanta subì molte innovazioni radicali, tanto da rendere le apparecchiature radar impiegate obsolete nel giro di pochi anni. (it)
  • Pinetree Line była serią stacji radarowych zainstalowanych na północy (nie licząc Alaski) Stanów Zjednoczonych i na południu Kanady oraz częściowo wzdłuż wybrzeży oceanu Atlantyckiego i oceanu Spokojnego. Dowodzona przez Dowództwo Obrony Północnoamerykańskiej Przestrzeni Powietrznej i Kosmicznej. Stacje były operowane przez Siły Powietrzne Stanów Zjednoczonych (USAF) oraz Królewskie Kanadyjskie Siły Powietrzne (RCAF). Pinetree Line był pierwszym skoordynowanym systemem wykrywania bombowców i rakiet nadlatujących z ZSRR. (pl)
