The CIA says the AAF B-24 and the Navy Catalina were ELENT aircraft in the Pacific in WW2. See:

The Graphic Survey, see:

says that the ARR-8 is WW2 equipment, pdf page 59.

Can anyone identify where (which aircraft) the AN/ARR-8 receiver would have been used? It looks to be post WWII and from what little I have been able to learn it offers a "rapid means of locating and measuring the frequency of enemy signals which are on for a very short interval of time". Perhaps B-36? Idera or direction of where to look appreciated.
