It's my favorite WWII airborne HF receiver, Jerry.  It's essentially a 
Hallicrafters SX-28A repackaged into a standard ATR aircraft 
configuration.  You'll need 6.3vac and 270vdc for power - that was 
originally supplied by a PP-32/AR power supply, but they are few and far 
between these days.  More at
