' Flight Journal ' magazine, Aug. 2018 number, has an article on B-25 group in the Pacific War. There's a photo of the cockpit "as it would have looked in 1945; any
required modern equipment has been hidden".  Left side wall ( Pilot position ? )  has triple command set control head; BC-366 switchbox; between these two,
the smaller switchbox BC-??? for beam filter switching. Right side wall has the mirror image of the two switchboxes, plus what looks like an SCR-522 channel
switchbox ( red pushbuttons, red and black nameplates  ). Probably no news to most of you, but nice to see it in color.
Reminds me now my father telling me about the SCR-268 controlled 90mm AA gun position he was at, which protected a nearby B-25 base near Bastia,
Corsica.
