[Milsurplus] VHF or HF liason/command on Enola Gay ?

[Tino Zottola]

It looks like at least 3 possible liason/command
equipment setups were possible on B29s.

1) On this website the equipment looks like it came
straight out of a B17 or B24. BC375 + BC348 liason as
well as the familiar SCR274N command line-up. I guess
this was probably from an early B29 from late 1944.

2) According to Fred Chesson's very informative web
site, the equipment listing on the Enola Gay contains
no HF equipment what-so-ever. Only an ARC-3 VHF
command setup is mentioned. No liason equipment is
mentioned at all. Is this correct ? Does this list
imply that when the Smithsonian received the Enola Gay
this is what was present or is this what was present
on Aug 6, 1945?

3) Most oldtimers I spoke to, told me that ART13 +
BC348 were the norm in B29s. I would guess this
statement applies to post WW2 setups?

Could someone shed some light on my confusion ?

Thanks Tino VE2GCE
