One of the most interesting configurations of the A.R.C. Type 12 sets in
military service is that designed for light aircraft to support ground
operations.  That set uses (A.R.C. type numbers except for the SCR):

R-11A      Range Receiver
R-19       VHF-AM Communications Receiver
T-11A (2)  VHF-AM Communications Transmitters
SCR-619-A  VHF-FM Communications Receiver-Transmitter (BC-1335-A)
C-37       Control Box

One of hardest parts to find is the C-37 control box for all these items.
One has shown up, but the auction ends in about 80 minutes.

FWIW, the 12-vdc BC-1335-A is typically supplied in this 24-vdc system
through a suitable dropping resistor, which makes more sense than those
expensive and heavy DY-44/U 24-to-12 vdc units.  Still, listening to the
squelch-less BC-1335 could not have been all that pleasant.
