There is Antenna Handbook from far 1936... The book
contains only 82 pages but the pages soak lots information relative
to antennas. Radio wave propagation, antenna theory and practice,
ATU and antenna feeding- all of this question were lighting on
the pages...
The book was prepared by engineering stuff of the
Radio Magazine (that was in circulation in the times) under direction
of J.N.A. Hawkins. The book was edited by W.W. Smith.

Antenna Handbook
PREFACE
The
aim of The "Radio" Antenna Handbook is to present a
comprehensive and practical outline of the whole antenna problem
for the amateur and others using the high frequencies. It is not
generally realizes among amateurs that a given amount of time
and money spent on increasing antenna efficiency will do more
to increase the strength of the distant received signal than increasing
the power output of the transmitter several times. Antenna data
has been very incompletely presented in most common texts, and
as the need exists for a more complete presentation of the subject,
it is hoped that this work will prove a step in the right direction.
