Warbird Information Exchange

Since I'm the resident "radio nerd" at VFM, the C-47 Southern Cross crew asked me to research the physical configuration of the radio operator's station on WW2 USAAF C-47s, and also verify the type of equipment that was used. Since the airplane is finished in D-Day markings, the appropriate time period would be mid-1944. I'm looking for photos, equipment specs, etc, to help these guys do a reasonable job with their restoration. Your help will be appreciated! Meanwhile, I'll do some "internet sleuthing" on my own.
