Nice shots.  I don't remember so many radios on the planes when I saw them
last year or the year before.

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

avionics in the cockpit photos). I was not aware of some manufacturers
(Western Electric, Fairchild) as military suppliers.
