[ARC5] B-17 radios? I think not...

[Christopher Bowne]

What makes you think that the ATA sets were never fitted in the B17s?  These 
particular ones most likely weren't, but wouldn't early B17s have had ATA/ARA 
command sets, or were they strictly used only by the Navy? 

 
My hybrid command set T19/ARC5/BC456/SCR274N setup includes an ATA antenna relay 
unit with the manufacture date clipped off the ID plate similar to the one on 
the 4-5.3 Mc transmitter.  Didn't that have something to do with units produced 
for Lend Lease shipment to the Brits while we were still neutral in 1940? 


I also have a very low S/N DY8 that obviously saw a lot of use, if it could 
talk, I wonder where it would say it had been when it was new?
