[Milsurplus] Fwd: Navajo code Talkers

[Hubert Miller]

I may have been wrong about the power unit missing; it's not possible for me to see if the radio has a battery clamped to the bottom. 
I don't know why the photo would have been taken with the radio out of the bag. If you were on the move or ready to be on the move,
you would want it readily grabable. This is why I call this a not so desirable photo. Also when you do your rendition note as compared to
the photos you refer to, the codetalker's TBY is the early version with no large spring in the lower section of the antenna.

Hue,

I think this is the staged and not useful picture that you mentioned:

What I do like about it is that the operator has the headset on and is holding the microphone.  I was going on the assumption that this is the way those items would have been utilized in combat?  I did find some pictures of the radio set in the canvas backpack as well located here:

If you have any other pictures and it isn't any trouble to get a hold of them, I would love to see them.  Thank you for your help!
