Text in French�On 6 June 1944, on the beaches, as well as inland, with very few exceptions, all orders and reports for all the fighting arms were transmitted by electric radios. �Until now, no encyclopedia has ever presented so much transmission equipment to such a large number of readers. Although not exhaustive, Les Radios alli�es, 1940-1945�s two volumes invite you to delve into a world that many collectors of WWII military memorabilia don�t even suspect exists. Radio is a world that has yet to be discovered, a world where itis still possible to find a genuine collector�s item that has seen combat. Any enthusiast reading about the fighting in Europe � from the Normandy beaches to VE Day � should know how complex the means of radio-electric communication used by the Allies were. The descriptions accompanying the apparatus are taken entirely from the original technical data and specifications. No less than 160 transmission apparatuses � BC 611, BC 1306, Wireless SetN� 18, N� 19 or the Amplifiers RF N� 2 and Wavemeters Class D, etc. � used by the Anglo-Saxon forces (English, American, Canadian, New-Zealand and French) are all fully shown as they were, in all their complexity and with all their accessories.
