[ARC5] SCR-274N in the P-38 Lightening

[David Stinson]

Saw a book today- "The Lockheed P-38 Lightening," c1991 by
Waren Bodie, ISBN 0-9629359-5-6.  On the cover is a beautiful
color photo, taken in mid 1944, of the 5000th P-38 
produced by Lockheed.  
They painted it read and named it "Yahoo!"  
Clearly visible behind the pilot's seat is a 2TX/3RX SCR-274N.

Inside are many photographs of P-38s in all theaters.
Considering those photos where the radio equipment is visible and
in which the location of the aircraft in the photograph
is given, the P-38s in the Pacific and American theaters 
are equipped with SCR-274N.
Those in the European theater are equipped with SCR-522.
In a few of the photos, the equipment is clearly neither 
274N nor 522.  I'm not certain, but a couple look like
they might be SCR-283.

I only had time for a quick look, but I'll be 
asking my local library to get the book for me.
