Great photo. Interestingly those YAGI stick much further out than the equivalent antennas on allied aircraft.

I honesty don't know. I do know ASBIZ has hundreds of photos. If I had the time, you would see more photos, but there's only so much time during the school year.

Sorry. That was a bad joke in reference to a thread that must not be named.

What I would like to know, is how did they put the beaching gear on?

I bet they got sailors in the water to put them gear on

Which is why service folk deserve a real award for service in dangerous climes. Those guys in the Aleutians who did this work are sadly overlooked.

If there was only an expert, you could save all that time
