[ARC5] Radios in XB-19?

[Jay Coward]

Well Jack and the Group,
 I've always wondered what radio equipment was in the Bolo.
 As far as AC in the XB-19 , it may have been the power distribution system and the AC to DC was done locally at the equipment. Just guessing as there is not much AC gear surfacing from that era.

Subject: [ARC5] Radios in XB-19?

Does anyone have any documentation on the radios installed
in the Douglas XB-19?

Note, this not a typo, I am not referring to the B-18 Bolo.

The XB-19 was the large experimental bomber that was used more
as a test bed for large aircraft systems, rather than a serious
contender for production.

What drives the question, is that one of the features of the plane
was the use of an AC power system.

So I'm wondering if the Army used AC powered radios in the plane.
