[ARC5] Navigation Use of Low Freq Command Sets

[Robert Eleazer]

For fighter aircraft the 190-550 KHZ sets were used with the AN ranges and for receiving control tower instructions and thus needed no directional display or loop antenna.  And while the BC-453's were not installed in the fighters equipped with the SCR-522 in Europe it appears that the "Detrola" (generic name for the Detrola Model 438 and BC-1206-B and C sets) were used for LF beacon navigation there, based on pilots' description of navigation techniques.
