During the 1940s and early 50s radio asronomers from a number of nations used observations of total and partial solar eclipses to investigae the positions of radio-emitting regions and to determine the distribution of radio emission across the solar disk. Between 1949 and 1954, French radio astrnomers from the Ecole Normale Superieure and the institute of Astrophysics between them mounted four successful eclipse expedition to Africa and northern Europe. this short paper lists the personnel involved, discusses their instrumentation, describes the observations made, and evaluates the significance of those observations in an international context.
