I found this book referred to in an forum on www.Pacificwrecks.com :
We Were WMMS: The War Of The Airwaves
(Don A Brown, Ainslie, ACT 1992)
"Most of them didn't know exactly what they were getting into when they paraded
for the first time at Melbourne's exhibition building. But these RAAF recruits were
destined to be among a vital, mainly unsung, part of Australia's war efforts. For the
first time, our Wireless Maintenance Mechanics recollect how they managed to
keep the RAAF's airwaves open. In this collection of reminiscences, thirty Wireless
Maintenance Mechanics recollect how they managed to keep the RAAF's airwaves
open during WWII. From Australia to New Guinea, from the deadly serious memories
of being in the front line of an invading force to set up communications, to the
humour of being swept along in a packing crate boat during a flood, these are all
very personal stories."
