(ZEMKE'S WOLF PACK) BF-109 ANTENNA MAST BASE AND FW-190 ACCESS HOLE COVER PLATEMetal radio antenna mast mounting with the wooden base of the mast itself, from a Messerschmit Bf-109 fighter, along with a metal wing access cover from a Focke-Wulf FW-190 fighter. Both are heavily corroded, being recovered relics from crash sites. From the extensive collection of 62nd Fighter Squadron, 56th Fighter Group ace FRED J. CHRISTENSON (1921-2006). Christenson collected these items during his service with "Zemke's Wolf Pack", the nickname given the famous 56th Fighter Group. Hubert A. "Hub" Zemke commanded the group, composed of P-47s which closely escorted American bombers. While under Zemke's command (he would be later captured), the 56th FG claimed over 500 of the eventual 665.5 German aircraft the group destroyed. Christenson himself shot down 21.5 aircraft, once downing six planes in less than two minutes. With a copy of a reunion flyer, patch, and paperwork from the 2006 sale of Christenson's collection.
U.S. MILITARY RADIO SETSGroup of four U.S military radio components, including the receiver, transmitter, and power unit for the TRC-8 radio system (measuring 18 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 12", 11" x 12 1/2" x 13 1/2", and 17" x 8" x 13 1/2", respectively), and the receiving set for the AN/URR-35 radio, measuring 17" x 7" x 18". The TRC-8 was intended for use by the U.S. Army at stationary field communications centers, while the AN/URR-35 was primarily used aboard ships of the U.S. Navy.
