[ARC5] B-29 and SCR-274N

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

Notice how in spite of the fact that they are equipped with "hand free"
throat mics, they still put their hands to the mic to talk!  

Same thing happens today!  We spend thousands for Telex or David Clark
headsets and the crew still insists on putting their hands on the boom
mic to talk!

Creatures of habit, we are.

Pilot checks-out his Command Set, which is an

As usual, the Radio Operator gets pretty much neglected.
