[Milsurplus] B-29 ARN-21 ?

[antqradio at sbcglobal.net]

Wikipedia says that the B-29 was retired in mid 1960 and the B-50 soldiered on until 1965.  Didn't realize that almost 4000 B-29's were built in just three years!Jim

 The ARN-21 was the first-generation airborne TACAN set.  Hard to believe the Air Force was operating any B-29s in the mid-fifties, but if there were a few still in use, they might well have been fitted with an ARN-21...

On the front page is pencilled  “ B-29  751 “. This is an IFF-like 960-1215 MHz navigation system. Is this likely to be a correct notation?  -Hue
