Previously unrealized 8th AF P-38 fact
« on: May 01, 2005, 06:13:04 PM »
From Art Heiden:

"One little item, 8thAAF P-38s didn't have the Low Freq antennas from cockpit to vertical stabs, no Low Freq radios.  You'll see them in North Africa and Pacific.   Art"

I did some 55th FG Mustang profiles and the first thing pointed out to me was that I had included the antenna wires from the tail to the rear of the cockpit.  Of course they were'nt there.  Guess it's the same deal :)
