[Milsurplus] Throat mics.

[B. Smith]

   Well its hard to  understand for the average "Ground Pounder"  whats 
its like flying an unpressurized aircraft with round engines with many  
open windows etc. Lots of noise and before noise canceling techniques 
were developed. Air Crews got used to each other and the commands, a lot 
of the "crew chatter" used  standard terminology which helped. Throat 
mics were a band aid but they worked. A lot of stupid ideas won the war.
