A selection of Arthur Collins photos  (and one of his dad) many showing him with historic figures. Arthur was a man of influence and accomplishment and it all started in that attic with a few good tubes. The picture of his father MH is here because he purchased the best tubes available for his sons avid Radio hobby. His radio talent shined when he was the only one that was able to communicate with the Byrd Polar Expedition. Arthur Collins’ technology advancements were certainly helpful in our war efforts as well.  It was to his advantage that some of the military folks were HAMs just like he was. The last picture was taken just before Arthur Collins was finally pushed out of his own company by Rockwell International.  An interesting story you will find in Radio Wizard.
