Allied Radios 1940-1945 invites you to enter a world that many Second World War militaria collectors have yet to discover. Radio remains a world to explore — a world where finding a collectible piece that saw combat is still possible. Every reader with a passion for the fighting in Europe — from the landings on the Normandy beaches to Victory Day — necessarily needs to grasp the complexity of the radio-electronic communications means employed by the Allies.

The descriptions accompanying the sets are taken directly from original technical manuals. No fewer than 160 signal sets — BC 611, BC 1306, Wireless Set No 18, No 19, or the Amplifier RF No 2 and Wavemeter Class D, etc. — used by the Anglo-Saxon forces (British, American, Canadian, New Zealand, French, …) are presented in every aspect, in operational context, in full detail and with all their accessories.
