[ARC5] Fw: FW: Need parts for the Memphis Belle

Some of the -C models apparently did have a 28 volt buss, but I thought 
the big change came with the -D model.  In any case, the Memphis Belle 
was reportedly a B-17F-10-BO accepted by the USAAC on 15 July 1942.  The 
manual excerpt (attached) says its liaison receiver was a BC-348-H.  
Which does make one wonder why they want to obtain what is today one of 
the rarest 1936 models of the entire BC-224/348 family of receivers.  
Perhaps not destined for the MB at all?
