Found this image on a google search. The title implies it was used during WW2. As the text says, it was some kind of TV circuit used to provide real-time combat images a couple of miles behind the frontline. As the website hosting this image does not provide a lot of informations, I ask you: was such a TV-system used by tha allies in WW2 in actual combat? If so, when and where? And what were the results?

Re: "combat television" ?
Thought I'd resurface this post since it never received a answer, and its a interesting question. Television had emerged in the 1930s on the lab bench, and some experiments with broadcasting in New York. Beyond that experiment by the Army is relatively unknown.

https://history.army.mil/html/books/010 ... 0-16-1.pdf search television. There was a lot of experimentation. Later, of course, the Army Air Force and Navy tested TV guided bombs.

Well, it was published in the magazine "Radio News" december 1940 edition, so obviously not post-war (the full article covers 4 pages).Mark in Cleveland wrote:Post ww2 uniform and since FM was not in use until really 1940 and invente djus t afew years befor ethat i say the artcle and authos r did not do hiw
