Not to drag things off-topic, but my father was stationed in Japan during
post-war occupation in 1945-46. He dragged back a number of Japanese MIL
radios, including a Nav-Com hacksawed out of its shockmounts in the
cockpit of a Zero. Some are familiar to collectors, but I've never met
anyone who recognized the Nav-Com.
Incredibly, the leather cases on all the field radios are still intact and
supple - 75 years after manufacture date!
