JKim did the "Hill's Angel", yellow H some years ago - see this thread. Some nice photos of the nose-art can be seen there. There is even a NM plane with the same name and with the antenna under the nose.Going to have to do more reading on this. Found photos of the aircraft but there is no nose antenna. There must be more than one "Hill's Angel"
lt. allen hill p-38 hill's angel - Google Search
There are many examples with the both antennae and if you go through some books, Fold3-archive, P-38 sites etc. you'll find enough photos showing the same configuration. Curiously the P-38 in the NASM is a J-10-LO and is basically a time capsule (as far as I was told in the museum). She has the long wire and the mast under her nose:No, the long wire antenna is indeed what is in question. If you will read the entire series of posts you will see my purpose was to raise the question as to why that P-38 has both an AN-104 and a long wire antenna. Both a full SCR-522 installation and a full SCR-274-N installation cannot be put in that airplane. If it has both kinds of antennas, what is the long wire for?
