About this publication.
Selected publications, previously featured on the Wireless for the Warrior website, have
now been added to Scribd™ to reach a broader audience.
The WftW 'Polish' series comprises three groups of publications. These start with a
detailed technical view of wireless communications in the Polish army during the inter-war
years until 1939. Next, it covers 'Wireless in the Armia Krajowa and the Warsaw Uprising'
(THIS series), and concludes with the development and production of radios for resistance
groups, Polish AK, SOE, and agents during WWII by the Polish in exile in Great Britain.
It should be noted that in the Armia Krajowa series, only locally produced radios are
covered.
Already published on Scribd™ are selected chapters from the WftW 'Pamphlets', WftW
'Amendments', and WftW 'Various' series, with more to follow as time permits.
The 'Polish' Series.
The WftW 'Polish' series is not directly related, but within the scope of the WftW website

preferably with mention of the website www.wftw.nl.
Note that the page layout of the WftW series was setup with mirrored pages, primarily
intended for double sided (colour) printing and, if available, on good quality class A paper.
