[Milsurplus] Pacific gear

[howard holden]

Also what would the crystals have been for? The GO, at least the -9 which was the main one in use, has no provision for crystals. Nor, for that matter does the TBW. And he didn't mention any other gear.

Another Seattle area ( Bellevue, WA ) man, Jack Strayer, told me he saw the older gear still in PBYs post-war. It's hard to figure when and why gear was changed. Chet Wsner told me that when he flew E Coast to Caribbean patrol flights, their PBYs equipment was changed to BC-348, ART-13 in 1943. Why? Who knows.
