[Milsurplus] PBY blister

[CL in NC]

Not sure of the antenna assignment, perhaps some were for listening only in the search for German subs.  I had a instructor in fighter aircraft airborne radar back 50 years ago now, and he was a radioman and gunner on a PBY in South America patrolling for subs.  He said when he fired the .50 cal out the blisters gun port, the hot casings would come back at you and hit you in the face.  You could always tell a PBY gunner by the longitudinal burn marks on their faces.
