WIRELESS FOR
THE WARRIOR
by
LOUIS MEULSTEE
THE DEFINITIVE TECHNICAL HISTORY OF RADIO
COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT IN THE BRITISH ARMY
The
Wireless for the Warrior
books are
a source of reference for the history and
development of radio communication
equipment used by the British Army from the
very early days of wireless up to the 1960s.
The books are very detailed and include
circuit diagrams, technical specifications
and alignment data, technical development
history, complete station lists and vehicle
fitting instructions.
Volume 1
and
Volume 2
cover transmitters
and transceivers used between 1932-1948.
An era that starts with positive steps
taken to formulate and develop a new
series of wireless sets that offered great
improvements over obsolete World War I
pattern equipment. The other end of this
timeframe saw the introduction of VHF FM
and hermetically sealed equipment.
Volume 3
covers army receivers from 1932 to
the late 1960s. The book not only describes
receivers specifically designed for the British
Army, but also the Royal Navy and RAF. Also
covered: special receivers, direction finding
receivers, Canadian and Australian Army
receivers, commercial receivers adopted by the
Army, and Army Welfare broadcast receivers.
Volume 4
covers clandestine, agent or ‘spy’
radio equipment, sets which were used by
special forces, partisans, resistance, ‘stay
behind’ organisations, Australian Coast
Watchers and the diplomatic service. Plus,
selected associated power sources, RDF and
intercept receivers, bugs and radar beacons.
