About the Book

With this volume Dr. Thompson and Mrs. Harris conclude the story of U.S. Army Signal Corps operations in World War II. The Outcome is largely a success story, as it picks up in 1943 and carries on past V-J Day. Of all the technical services, the Signal Corps was least prepared for war in 1941. But by mid-war the Corps was operating efficiently at home and all over the world. Even so, there were always difficulties to be overcome. Further, other agencies conducted feuds and raids. The Army Air Forces, though using Signal Corps equipment through the end of the war, was never satisfied with it. The authors have told the story with candor. The point of view is that of the Signal Corps, but the range of subject matter should prove interesting and instructive to military men and to students of both technology and public administration.
About the Author: George Raynor Thompson, coauthor of The Signal Corps: The Test, published in this series in 1957, has an A.B. degree from Harvard College and a Ph.D. degree from Princeton University. In 1942 he was a Carnegie Research Fellow of The Johns Hopkins University in the history of Graeco-Roman science. From 1943 to 1946 he was an officer in the Office of the Chief of Naval Communications. He joined the staff of the historical office of the Signal Corps in 1947, becoming its chief in 1952. He has provided operation research services in the U.S. Army Strategic Communications Command since 1962. Dixie R. Harris, after receiving an A.B. degree from Ohio State University, studied law for four years and was admitted to the bar of Ohio in 1938. From 1942 to 1944 she was employed by the Signal Corps Publications Agency at Wright Field, Ohio. From 1945 to 1947 she served with the historical section of the Office of the Chief Signal Officer, and in 1949 she joined the staff of the Signal Corps section of the Office of the Chief of Military History. She became assistant chief of the Signal Corps historical office in 1952 and is coauthor of the present volume's predecessor, The Signal Corps: The Test.
