Wireless For The Warrior Compendium 1 Spark to Larkspur (Wireless Sets 1910-1948) (Reference #WWC1) Louis Meulstee. The first in a new series of reference and recognition handbooks. The Compendium series in the WftW range provides basic technical data of radio sets, radio stations and associated/related equipment which was in use by the British Army during the period 1910 to the late 1950s. Apart from standard equipment, also included are a selection of sets with limited use and experimental sets of special interest. (Compendium II - Special Sets, Receivers and Larkspur is in the process of being produced - no publication date is yet available.) It was not feasible to produce these new Volumes on a scale like WftW Volume 1 to 4. It was therefore decided to take a difference approach by producing just a condensed data summary, photographs and notes of each item, printed in a practical pocket size format with a soft cover. Order Code WWC1 - 344 Pages. Price: £23.50

	The History of the Radio Officer in the British Merchant Navy and on Deep-Sea Trawlers (Reference #BMN) The History of the Radio Officer in the British Merchant Navy and on Deep-Sea Trawlers by Joanna Greenlaw. The Radio Officer in the Merchant Navy, known to generations of seafarers as 'Sparks', was as integral a part of life on board as the ship's engine room or funnel. Now, with the advent of satellite communication, he (or she) has passed into history. The book is profusely illustrated with considerable material made available by the Marconi Company Archives and individuals, much of it published for the first time. It commences with the story of Gugliemo Marconi's first viable means of communicating by wireless and takes the reader through the entire history of wireless at sea, with special reference to the contribution made by Radio Officers to the safety of life at sea, often at the cost of their own lives. It provides a comprehensive and definitive account of the era of the Marine Radio Officer, and has been commended in a Foreword contributed by His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh. Price: £19.95
