[Milsurplus] Philippine guerilla radio?

[Brian Bjerkelund]

All:

Have a book somewhere in the rubble named  American Guerilla In the
Phillipines .....author was a USN officer who joined the resistance rather
than surrender.  He tells many interesting stories including making .30
projectiles out of curtain rods.  His radios were mostly delivered by
submarine but the book mentioned nothing specific about models, etc.

Although weak on radio detail an intertaining read.
