Radio Active: US Military Communications in WWII
Many wars have major effects on the technologies that we use in our daily lives. Compared to other wars, World War II had the greatest effect on the technology and devices that are used today. Communications played a huge role in the conduct of WWII and none more than the devices designed and built for the US military. This talk will introduce some of the highlights of that effort.
