WWII 1945 SCR-720-A SCR-720-B Airborne Radar Operating Manual AN 16-40SCR720-2

Original WWII-era Handbook of Operating Instructions for Radio Sets SCR-720-A and SCR-720-B, technical publication AN 16-40SCR720-2, dated 25 July 1945.

The title page is prominently marked “RESTRICTED (For Official Use Only)” and states that it was published under the joint authority of the United States War and Navy Departments and the Air Council of the United Kingdom. It supersedes the earlier AN 08-40SCR720-2 dated 7 October 1944.

The SCR-720 series was airborne radar equipment, making this an especially interesting technical publication for collectors of WWII radar, aviation electronics and early microwave technology.

This example is housed in a blue binder marked “SCR-720-A + B / AN 16-40SCR720-2.” The title page also retains a period ownership/reference label for Samuel E. McIntosh, Microwave Equipment Company, Paoli, Indiana, adding interesting provenance.
