[MRCA] D-Day communications

[Al Klase]

Gang,

The drawing to the AN/TRC radio links in the article reminded me of some 
information I dung up years ago for a presentation at InfoAge.  They 
used radio relay to send aerial recon photos from an airbase in England 
to Omaha Beach via facsimile as early as D+2.



Article from the Army Green Books (The Outcome) attached.  I have a soft 
pot in my heart for this, having been trained on radio relay equipment 
at Ft. Monmouth during the Vietnam era.

Enjoy reading,
AL
