[MRCG] WW2 vhf ground mobile (More)

[Ed Zeranski]

There was also push back from the Army Air Corps on providing tactical 
support

The "official" system was the VRC-1 and included a jeep mounted (HF) SCR-193 
(BC-191 xmtr, BC-312 rec.) and a 12 volt version of the (VHF) SCR-522. 
Didn't come into use until Normandy and beyond.  Hard to believe but up to 
that time there was no way for the grunts on the ground to communicate 
directly with the tactical support aircraft flying above them!
