I have removed the above acronym as it is almost ceratinly a backward one, i.e. applied after the fact. Oboe was not short for anything, it was a normal code name with no meaning whatsoever, the most plausible choice of-which being due to the resemblance of the tones heard in the pilot's/operator's headphones resembling that of an Oboe.
If anyone wants to put in a section about possible interpreted meanings and include it there, then feel free. Ian Dunster 13:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Why does the article have a picture of the GEE CRT display. It has nothing to do with the subject. Oboe had no aircraft display as it was controlled from the ground.
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Oboe (navigation)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:57, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
The M.I.T. Radiation Laboratory Series, published probably in 1946 by McGraw-Hill, has several descriptive references to Oboe, Gee, and other WW II electronic navigation systems, including technical details. The series has been available as a CD from Artech House for $350 US, but at least some individual volumes (which ones, however, contain specific material, I don't know, unfortunately) are available online.
