[Milsurplus] Radio Station RS-6, Employment Of Versus Conspiracy Theory Of

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Group,

I recently acquired a few pages copied from Emergency Rescue Manual 64-1, 
"Survival on the Ice Cap, Cold Seas, Sea Ice of the Northeast Area", Headquarters 
Eighth Air Force, 15 September 1959.  Paragraph 5 (Survival Kits) lists 
aircraft types versus survival equipment each was supposed to carry.  Aircraft 
listed to carry RS-6 are:

R/RB-47E
B-47 ECM
RB-47E
B-52
RB-52

I don't know what the difference is between the first and second listing of 
the RB-47E but the list shows crew of 3 in the first case and 6 in the second.  
Some old Blue Suiter can probably explain.

Paragraph 6 (Emergency Radio Kits) Subparagraph a says RS-6 will be carried 
on all aircraft of types indicated when maneuvering outside the ZI.  Paragraph 
6b covers AN/URC-4.

(ZI is Zone of the Interior)

More to follow when I figure out what I did with the other document...
