[Milsurplus] LF in a B-17?

[Scott Johnson]

I think, after pondering it for a while, that in the ETO there would have
been little use for LF except for navigation rx's, whereas in the pacific,
it was useful for longer haul comms.This might explain why most of the
ART-13's I have seen with LF osc.'s were Navy versions. The B-29 also had a
trailing wire reeler on the aft part of the belly.
