I added some more photos, especially including the ARC-5 VHF set to 
prove that we were totally on VHF by July 1944.  The HF stuff was 
probably just dummy equipment to confuse the enemy if they were shot 
down.   :-)   The control box for the ARR-2 is forward of the C-26 
between the pilot and copilot.  Same link -

I apologize to those who are on dial-up - it will take a while to load 
the 2.1 megabytes.
