[Milsurplus] Video: First USA Jet Flight - October 1942

[Jack Antonio]

Two questions came to mind watching this video:

1. What was the radio complement aboard the P-59? Was it also an
SCR-274N.?  It would be kind of neat if it were an SCR-183 or similar
radio.

2.  Whatever happened to the voice recordings made? Is there an archive
for that type of material somewhere?

Can't see what the receiver(s) is/are because the inside of the box is shaded.  Any guesses?  Pretty neat huh?
