[ARC5] NMNA F6F-3 Radio Frequencies of Equipment

[Michael Bittner]

Todd, In a previous discussion on the ZB-3, I mentioned the plotting board 
used by Hellcat and SBD pilots for over-water navigation and how it slid 
into a compartment under the pilot's instrument panel.  By clicking on the 
URL you provided and then clicking on "Recovered Planes" ( 
http://www.atrecovery.com/Pages/Airplanes.htm ) I found this plotting board 
in the second picture shown there.  It can be seen projecting partially out 
of its compartment below the instrument panel.  First time I've seen one 
since we learned how to do dead reckoning navigation with it in training. 
Thanks for posting this information.  Mike, W6MAB
