  I recently took a flight in the only restored Consolidated B-24 bomber. I have some photos of the military radios used on the B-24 and a B-17 and wanted to share them with you. Yes, some of the radios you (Joe, Al) anticipated were present. There are some ARC (?) radios that had no identification on them - anyone know what the are? They are in the 10th photo and the cases appear to be unpainted metal. Use the following link (cut & paste if necessary) to access and view;

  NOTE: There is a link below the signin to view photos without signing in.

  The radios appear to be more of a static display (note the modern avionics in the cockpit photos). I was not aware of some manufacturers (Western Electric, Fairchild) as military suppliers.

  It was a great flight during great weather and yes Rob, New Jersey still has farms.
