[NJARC] Military Radio(s) Used In B-24?

[Al Klase]

Hi Rich,

The radios that Joe mentioned comprise the so called liaison set used 
for log range communications, usually in CW.  You should also look out 
for the SCR-274 (aka AN/ARC-5 in the Navy) command set.  This was used 
for short range communications, e.g. within the squadron, usually in 
AM.  standard set up, 3 RX and 2 TX covers 3-9MHz on tranceive plus 
200-500KHz for flying the ranges and hearing the towers.

Most of the flying restored aircraft I've seen only paid lip service to 
the original avionics.  There should also be a compass receiver for the 
navigator.  Later aircraft may have had VHF AM radios such as AN/ARC-3 
or SCR-522/

Have fun,
Al
