[ARC5] Lady Be good

[Robert Eleazer]

I read some time back that when the C-47 landed next to the B-24 with the USAF team to examine the Lady Be Good that one of the radios in the aircraft failed and was replaced with one out of the B-24.  And it worked perfectly.

The article described the raido that was replaced with one from the B-24 as an ARC-1.  That seems to be very unlikely.  They probably meant to print "ARC-5" and were in reality describing an SCR-274-N. 

Legend has it that every aircraft that used parts salvaged from the Lady Be Good later crashed.
