[ARC5] Suspected A.R.C. antenna identification request

[Craig Cantwell]

 Jan: I've seen that antenna on various aircraft over the years. I think it was a Collins or Bendix VHF for low speed...probably under 400 knot aircraft. It was all metal.  It's possible it was for VHF-Lo band. If no one can id it fairly soon, I can pose the question to our support guys at work and see if they can access the archives on the prototype.

 Colleagues,

I'd like to ask for help to identify the type of the L-shaped antenna 
used on the early U-2 airplanes. I presume that it was the A.R.C. Type 
A-15 VHF antenna inside an aerodynamic fairing since the A.R.C. Type 12 
VHF COM is known to have been used on such birds. On the prototype 
aircraft, the L-shaped antenna was mounted just under the cockpit, while 
the later production aircraft had the antenna moved toward the center 
part of the fuselage. Later, the A.R.C. Type 12 was removed from the 
U-2s and replaced with the AN/ARC-34 UHF.

73,

Jan SP5XZG
