[Boatanchors] Re WW2 Military Coms

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello All,

There are many stories about various pieces of military radio gear being 
used in aircraft, field operations, naval craft etc. during World War ii. I 
am curious as to which manufacturer and model tended to be the dominant ones 
for use in the United States aircraft, Army field operations and naval 
craft?

I hear many older Hams talking about restoration projects of some of this 
gear, but I rarely, if ever, hear any of it on the air. Where would I listen 
to hear such military gear being used today, if anywhere?

If any of you have the names of literature published on said topic, I would 
appreciate knowing the book, or article, title/source, and author, if known. 
Thank you very much.
