[ARC5] Army/Navy Mixed Sets? A Little Evidence.

[Mike Everette]

This is not surprising.  There were numerous cases of USAAF aircraft being transferred to the Navy; one notable example was of B-24s operating from the Azores in antisubmarine service.
I have direct experience with a Twin Beech SNB-5 that had most likely been originally a USAAF aircraft.  It had been still flying in sonobuoy training service at the time of joint-service redesignation for many military aircraft in the early sixties, when it became a TC-45J (still a Navy a/c).  It carried a full ARC-5 HF setup, but all the shock mounts and control box mounts were Signal Corps.

 I knew this was in my documentation somewhere.A Norfolk Naval Air Station Acceptance tag used to document equipment removed from aircraft,  inspected and places into inventory dated 1 Aug. '44, showing acceptance of an Army Signal Corps FT-226-A rack.Certainly not conclusive, but interesting.73 Dave AB5S
