> ......Navy aircraft in such regions overwhelmingly
 would have been large patrol bomber aircraft like the PB4Y.  These
 mostly were equiped with the excellent USAAF SCR-269 ADF for homing,
 and a liaison station of some sort that provided a transmitter and
 receiver for such frequencies.  There's really no justification for
 the R-24 and T-15/16/17 on such aircraft for communications, nor the
 R-24 with DU for homing.
That's just it.  There's no justification for T-15/16/17 on such 
ingle-seat
ircraft at all, unless they were for communications.
n large patrol aircraft,  they would have been redundant.
last that I don't have an office for my documentation anymore!
t's all over the house.  That fighter aircraft were stationed and 
erformed
any roles in secondary and tertiary theaters is in the documentation.
ou weren't going to do joint manuevers with the Peruvian Air Force
nless you could talk to aircraft and water craft using freqs under 2 
C.
-15/16/17 in a comm role demands R-24 also have a comm role,
s well as host for ZB or a loop.
It's a pitiful shame that so much important documentation has been
estroyed, and that none of us could ever afford to spend the
ext 3-4 years in the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress
nd the National Archives needed to settle some of these questions.
he final answers to things like T-16 and R-24 are on some
it of carbon-paper buried in Box BR-549 on shelf OU-812
n the National Archives, and no eye shall see it from now
ntil the Judgement Day.  All we're ever likely to have is tiny bits
f clues, second-hand stories and educated,
ogical supposition.   It's depressing....
Back to work- got a water leak.
