U.S. Army Signal Corps Vehicles 1941-45 (Casemate Illustrated Special) Hardcover – Didier Andres

民國30-34年，美國陸軍通信部隊車輛精裝本 (Casemate圖解特集) ，作者 迪迪埃·安德烈斯

本書收錄了數百張二次世界大戰期間的珍貴照片，詳盡呈現了美國陸軍賴以維持通訊暢通的各式卡車、廂型車及拖車的細節。

在整個第二次世界大戰期間，通信部隊（Signal Corps）始終站在通訊技術發展的最前線。為了協調美軍所有的軍事行動，通信部隊初期不得不依賴一個總長約130萬公里的有線通訊網路。透過這個網路以及無線電通訊的結合，羅斯福總統在將近五年的時間裡，得以每小時更新一次全球軍事行動的概況，情報可精確至營級單位。

科技的發展日新月異，無線電通訊很快便取代了有線網路。然而，當有線網路無法使用或必須實施無線電靜默時，美國陸軍通信部隊始終將應變能力列為優先。因此，通信兵們也同時維護著較為古老的通訊方式，包括使用信鴿傳訊。

幾乎所有大型的通信部隊裝備都需要輪式運輸工具。戰爭初期，專為通信部隊需求設計的「K」型（Model “K”）車輛迅速普及，共生產了84種衍生型號。在該型號名稱被棄用後，通信部隊另外編列了62種車輛及拖車型號，其中大多數與特定的無線電或雷達裝置配套使用。這本內容全面、圖文並茂的著作，涵蓋了雷達、無線電車輛，以及諸如電話維修卡車、野戰電話交換機和信鴿收發單位等特種車輛。所有這些裝備均有詳細的技術說明，並輔以數百張當時的歷史照片。

U.S. Army Signal Corps Vehicles 1941-45 (Casemate Illustrated Special) Hardcover – Didier Andres 民國30-34年，美國陸軍通信部隊車輛精裝本 (Casemate圖解特集) ，作者 迪迪埃·安德烈斯

Includes hundreds of period photos covering all the details of the trucks, vans and trailers vital to maintain the communications of the U.S. Army in WWII.

The Signal Corps was at the forefront of the technological development of communications throughout World War II. Tasked with coordinating all American military activities, the Signal Corps initially had to rely on a communications landline network covering some 1 300 000 km. This network together with radio communications provided President Roosevelt with a global overview of military operations down to battalion level updated hourly for nearly five years.

Technological evolution was so rapid that radio communications soon took over from the landline network, however adaptation remained a priority within the US Army Signal Corps for when landline networks were unavailable or radio silence had to be observed; signallers also maintained older communications methods including homing pigeons.

Almost every large piece of Signal Corps equipment required wheeled transport. Early in the war the Model “K” vehicles, designed for the Signal Corps’ needs, quickly proliferated with 84 variants being produced. After that designation was abandoned the Signal Corps would catalogue a further 62 models of vehicles and trailers, most of them were associated with a particular radio or radar installation. This comprehensive and fully illustrated account covers radar, radio vehicles, plus specialized vehicles such as telephone repair trucks, mobile telephone switchboards and homing pigeon units, all described in technical detail and illustrated by hundreds of period photos.
