Anything by F.E. Terman. Thorough and detailed studies and analysis of almost every aspect of electronics (of its vintage) and radio communications. IMHO every vintage wireless enthusiast should have his publications on their bookshelves; invaluable.
'Second Thoughts on Radio Theory' by M.G. Scroggie (If you can find a copy: it's as rare as hens' teeth!).
'Handbook of Line Communications' - Royal Signals. Vol. 1 is always coming up on e-bay, but vol. 2 I've never seen (And when I do, I'm buying it!)
'The Services Text Book(s) of Radio', vols. 1 → 7. Some volumes come up now and again, some are very scarce.
Various publications by the R.S.G. B. and its USA counterpart, the A.R.R.L. The latter are particularly very thorough in their detailed analyses.
I'd avoid 'Modern Radio Communication' by J. H. Reyner. It's badly written and has many technical errors.
There are plenty of others - but that'll do to be going on with.
Incidentally, I do have copy of Ralph Stranger's book 'The Outline of Wireless' for sale (it's simply surplus to my needs).
