Thanks for your work on that, Ken.
I googled APA-92 and came up with some real interesting leads.
What i first took to be a ship name, "Baker", is in different paint
than the "APA-92" and i take "Baker" to be a person's name, likely
someone who claimed or owned the set along the way.

Besides the freq and identifier invasion planning i already posted,

This site

http://www.america-at-war.net/wwii1944.html

lists for 1944 events:

"November 17 - The attack transport USS Alpine (APA-92) is damage by a suicide plane in the Leyte
area. "

Always nice to know where your radio has been, in its colorful life.

BTW, the TBX shipping trunk weight sez "82 lbs."  Is this loaded or unloaded, i.e. trunk only?
