二戰，後期型，EE-8 野戰電話 | 黑水博物館館藏
WWII, Canvas Cases, EE-8 Field Telephone | Black Water Museum Collections
EE-8 野戰電話上的聽筒與現代電話類似，差別在TS-9型話筒上有一個蝴蝶型通話鈕，說話時再打開可節省電池電力，雙向通話，結構堅固耐用，多數話機至今仍然可以正常工作。
美軍從 1935 年到越戰期間一直使用 EE-8 野戰電話。使用被覆線最大傳輸距離為11公里。 EE-8 使用 1號(D)電池供電，當電池電壓下降，話筒音量也隨之下降。EE-8 野戰電話用手搖發電機發電，使另一端的電話響鈴。早期型是皮製外殼，二戰期間改為帆布製外殼。在第二次世界大戰期間，野戰電話比無線電更受歡迎，因為EE-8 野戰電話比背負式 (SCR-300)無線電和手持式無線電 (SCR-536) 可靠得多。
