[Milsurplus] interesting site for AAF radio docs

[Nick England]

This search on "graphic survey"
<http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm4/results.php?CISOOP1=all&CISOBOX1=graphic+survey&CISOFIELD1=CISOSEARCHALL&CISOROOT=all>

Turned up the docs on AAF communications, remote control/television,
countermeasures, radar navigation, and radio navigation equipment.

Maybe you guys already knew about these but I hadn't come across any
references to them and think they have interesting info (even though
I'm a 1950's Navy radio guy). In many cases, equipment numbers for
1944 and 1945 supply orders are given.

cheers,
Nick
