[ARC5] Early PBY radios and equipment needed. GO-9, ATB and lots more

[Christopher Bowne]

Do you need an ARB receiver?  I have one complete with dynamotor, was operating but has been on shelf for many years.  May also have an LM frequency meter.

Would really enjoy passing the above on for the PBY project.  My first airplane ride was in a PBY, although I was very very young, Iinfact I was not born yet!  My mother when she was pregnant with me, worked at Remmert-Werner Aircraft Company at Lindbergh Field in St. Louis MO.  At the time back in 1952, they were converting large military aircraft into executive aircraft.  They did a DC-3 for Arthur Godfrey , who was a pilot and also a ham.  They also did PBY conversions, and Mom and I went up for a check ride in of them, most likely in the spring, because I was told that there was extensive flooding on the Mississippi at the time.

Also have a friend whose dad was a pilot in the Black Cat Squadron.

This aircraft, BuNo 2459, was originally built as a PBY-5 without retractable wheels but was modified to a PBY-5A amphibious version during the war. She went on to sink three U boats and has an amazing history. She is now back in the US and is being brought back to a stock configuration which is very rare amongst PBY’s these days. She will be a flier too where people will be able to see her and her authentic interior.
