[MRCA] USAF Office Of Information

[Mike Morrow]

Under JAN nomenclature, the E6B became the CPU-26A/P.
 
Other than the mis-located speaker/mic, the radio appears to represent the USAF's excellent AN/URC-64, called by LCOL Hambleton of BAT21B fame the best thing that USAF money ever bought.  Its BA-1113/URC-64 battery is a small cylinder five inches long and one inch in diameter.

E-6B stashed by his left hand. He must be a trash-hauler, though. Spoon is a giveaway....hi!!!! Best to you all there, Breck. Better days coming.....

Got the photo faxed from DOD USAF OOI. Photo taken before first OPS on the WWM (World Wide Misson).
Some of the equipment can be very uncomfortable particular the Survival Vest if he packed an extra battery for the radio.  I don't see the baby bottles of water or the emergency candy bar which we usually put in the pants pocket of the G suit. You ex flyers can look carefully and see if you can spot the E6B. Extra points if you can identify the "Shroud Line" device.
