Just about all of the USAF aircraft after the war began to use them,
Curt. The Enola Gay has *two* of the sets installed! The mounts are
physically the same as the AN/ARC-5 modulator, twin transmitter, and
twin receiver mounts, if that helps. The only difference is Type I cad
plating rather than black wrinkle paint on the mounting rails, and the
nomenclature Leroyed inside the rail on the front instead of a
nomenclature plate. It would be easy to fabricate if you can't find an
MT-238.
