Trying to determine how many Eagle-equipped B-24s went to the ETO and at what dates. Also, serial of first B-24 to be equipped with APQ-7 (production model as opposed to prototype). Any suggested reading on the topic much appreciated. Tks

I have been looking for Eagle equipped B-24 information for some time as well. My research is more focused on the APQ-7 trainers used in the 315th Wing B-29 training program, but I've been less than successful with serial numbers so far. Here is a photo of the antenna installation on one of the trainers sent to Nebraska for instructional purposes. This particular picture was taken at the home of the 16th Bombardment Group (VH), Fairmont Army Air Field. I'll keep searching for information, so check back occasionally.

Thanks Scott. I do have a history of Eagle as published in "Radar" in 1945 if you're interested. Some references to 315th Wing.

Scott & Darrell - I have a long list of B-24 Eagle serials, both trainers and operational a/c, taken from the IARCs and other sources. Too much to post here. Suggest you contact me directly.

Thanks, Al!
 
I'll email you when I get back home--I'm doing some "mechanic therapy" with Ol' 927 this week.

Thanks Al. Stand by for an email.

Darrell,
 
What kind of information relating to the 315th do you have in the Radar publication you mentioned?  Any easy way to extract it?
