I have some really neat magazines for sale here. Radio News, one from June 43 and the other Feb 44. Both are in excellent condition.
February of 44 main theme is US ARmy Signal Corps with lots of attention to the SCR-299/SCR-399. Nothing intimate it's just the focus of this issue. Magazine is almost 1 inch thick. There is also a 6 page section of German radios with pictures and a section on Japanese radioo with pictures. a section of pictues for the "Signal Corps Portfolio". Lots of pictures about the peope wo worked for the Signal Corps and civilian jobs as well, what a lot of women did in the wartime process. A lot of the pictures are color,how they mad the color shots in the studio for instance. Excellent magazine. $30
June of 1943 issue focus's on US Aviation Communications. Pictures of training schools and how the AAF people were trained with some good shots of the training aids. A few pictures with Navy personnel in their strange habitat!.. Lots of color pictures and descriptions on how the radio operator was trained. Gets into the CAA and how the airways were established, the navigation system, how it was built and how it worked also. Just a really good issue. $27
YANK Magazine. 27 Various issues between Feb 2 of 45 and Dec 21 of 45 which includes the September 45 VJ Day special issue. All are in very good condx. Some have some tearing on the spline. $55 for all 27 issues.
YANK Magazine from March 3 of 44 to Dec 15 of 44. Lots of good reading and of course there are cartoons scattered throughout and on the back page. These have been kept at the back of one of my file cabinet drawers to keep the light off of them for preservation. Good for groups who do the ground war scene. Some have Air Force, some Navy scenarios. I bought these from an alod place in Kingman, AZ. back in the 80's when i was hunting for WWII artifacts. Knowing Kingman had been a airborne gunnery training site. Funy thing is that these issues were sent to an address in Pennsylvania. Most do not have an addressee. One is going to a Sgt at HQ 52 AACS Group RAAF, Reading, PA. Two of the issues are from March 3rd, 1944 but are not the same. One is: YANK Army Weekly and the other is YANK down under of which the front cover is of a pair of LST Gunners. $20 for all issues in this date range. And don't forget the SADSACK Cartoons that were in these issues. Bet those will bring back memories just like Bill Mauldins drawings.
ARMY Air FORCES Radio Facility Chart, 15 Dec, 1945. Excellent conditon for $12
Flight Manual for the B-24D. Hardcover issue. This is one of a set that came along with every so many B-24 aircraft from Consolidated Aircraft, Has some water stains around the edges but it doesn't appear to have any pages that are stuck together. Looks like about 20 or so pages on the Radio gear. $20
Postage is extra. Radio news cannot go by media mail because they have advertising in them. Everything else can.
