All your fieldphones are belong to us

Or let's say at least most.

Below a comparison table of all army field telephones I'm currently aware of (150+ and growing). From 1898 to 2000+, from 1 to 12kg and from A(rgentina) to Y(ugoslavia).

Out of scope and caveats

Comparison table

The default sorting is per year, by clicking on the specific column header you can sort e.g. per country or per weight. Table key below.
