Damn, and the tubes are going in that dude’s ear. The Brits really do hardcore war.

The Japanese had the most aesthetically pleasing ones, so far.

1935-MODEL SOUND LOCATOR
Development of heat or radio detection equipment was made urgent by the breakdown of sound location at maneuvers of Army antiaircraft and Air Corps units in 1933 and 1936. This photograph shows a sound locator used at First Army Maneuvers, Pine Camp, New York, in August 1935.

The caption on Shorpy is “Amplifiers at Bolling Field, 1921.” Bolling Air Force Base is in Washington, DC, USA. Perhaps these are more American war tubas.
