Hello,
Does anyone know anything about Navy infrared signalling devices of WWII
era? My grandfather, who worked for RCA, worked on these devices. I hav=
e
papers he wrote about the Snooperscope/Sniperscope, but the funny thing i=
s
that he was given a commission by the Navy. In addition to driving aroun=
d
at night in a jeep with IR headlights, he also told me stories about
sailing around Chesapeake Bay with the Navy. The Navy commission was so
that he would be treated as a combatant if captured.
PS, I am looking for a tech. and/or training manual for the
Snooperscope/Sniperscope M1. =
Thanks, Rob Flory
