[Milsurplus] Merrill's Marauders book photo

[Dennis DuVall]

Hue,

There was a long thread on this a couple of years ago.  Better view showing the RCA  AVT-15 and AVR-20 attached below.
Probably salvaged (or liberated?) from one of the L-5 aircraft used during the campaign to evacuate  wounded.  Don't see 
any reason to question the authenticity , time or location of the picture.  For more recommend a visit to the Marauder’s website.
