Title: B-29 Radio Men Remember Post by: K1NSS on August 29, 2013, 10:00:26 AM Memories of B-29 radio operators make for a fascinating read, including a detailed account of the last air mission of the Pacific war by Clyde V. Hussey, former KM4RC. It's just one page of our site dedicated to veteran remembrance and radio position restoration of "FIFI," the last flying Superfortress, a joint project of the Commemorative Air Force and Rockwell Collins Amateur Radio Club: www.b29radio.com (http://www.b29radio.com)

We can't imagine a more appropriate alphanumeric for the aircraft. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
Also, Mr. Hussey comes from a ham family and we look forward to publishing more backstory, including his father's experience with some very early Collins amateur radio gear. Stay tuned! |
