[ARC5] ARC-5/SCR-274 Navagation Receivers?

[Gary Pewitt]

The "Lady Be Good".  The navigator never made a mark on his chart or 
even got his instruments out.  Probably used to just playing follow the 
leader.  They bailed out probably thinking that they were over water and 
never took any of the survival gear that was in with the life rafts. 
The plane landed in one piece and wasn't even damaged that much.  Easily 
survivable.  If theyld stayed with it they would have had use of a radio 
and might have survived.
