[ARC5] PBY-5A BuNo 2459 radio and radar

[Christopher Bowne]

Thanks for the pictures!  One has to wonder, did ALL of those tuning units go along for the ride on every mission or were only the 
minimum number needed for the mission communications plan brought along?  I
have wondered the same thing about the radio compartment on the B-17 with it’s capability for stowage of a large number of TUs for the BC-375 transmitter.
