[ARC5] Navy Laison Radios?

[Bob Macklin]

Now that we know the ARC-5s were not used for CW operation what was used for the Liaison radio in SBDs, TBF/TBM, and the SB2C?

In the SBC and the SB2C the rear seat gunner was also an observer and radio operator. HE WAS A CW OPERATOR. In the case of the TBF/TBM the middle seat in the canopy was the radio operator. He was also the belly gunner.

What liaison radios were used in the PBY and PBM?
