[Milsurplus] SBD-5 Douglas Dauntless with BC-375

[David Stinson]

I'm in contact with a WWII Marine aviation gentleman in Oregon 
who was a radio/gunner on Dauntless, Helldiver and TBM.
He's a vet of the Marianas Turkeyshoot.
Just helped him identify the transmitter (paired with an RU receiver)
he used in the Dauntless.  It was a BC-375!  
He was assigned to a TBM on Okinawa and in June of 1945,
they finally got an ART-13.

How about them apples?
Just goes to show- if we say "they never did" or "they always did,"
we need to think again.
We *can* say that they used whatever they could get that worked,
especially early in the Pacific.

I'll ask his permission to forward his rememberances.
