[Milsurplus] BC-611 Operational Question

[Mark K3MSB]

Hi Folks

I'm interested in hearing about actual confirmed uses of the BC-611
communicating with USAAF aircraft during WW II.

I'm not interested in a general discussion of the pros and cons of the
611,  but rather actual instances of using them to talk to aircraft.

I've seen one drawing in a TM of a group of GI's on a hillside using the
611 to talk to a flight of B-24 Liberators,   but I've always viewed that
as wishful thinking.

Reason for asking.  I've been invited to participate with a group of
regional USAAF WWI re-enactors.   I'll be redoing my SCR-274N system over
the winter to make it transportable for field operations.   I have a pair
of 611s that work (well, one has a broken earpiece....) and I was thinking
that if the 611 was used in any capacity to talk with USAAF personnel it
would make an interesting demo to have people at the event (youth
particularly)  talk  to each other with the 274N and a 611.

Thanks
