OK guys - maybe a bit off topic for ARC-5 discussions but here goes - you
guys are smart: The USMC had Tactical Air Control Parties in the Korean
War - directing close air support to USMC ground forces.
There is at least one photo of a Marine TACP unit using a GRC-9 presumably
controlling an aircraft in a CAS mission. So the question is: What HF set
would a USMC fighter bomber be using during that period? Were ARC-5's in
prop/jet fighter bombers even a possibility then? I know this system moved
to VHF/UHF but there seems to be evidence of maybe an "early" HF system in
Korea.
Ideas?
