Item Description
Original Items: Limited Quantity Available. These are fine examples of the AN-74-A VHF Mast Antenna as used for the SCR-522 airborne radio system during WWII. The SCR-522 VHF Radio Set was used in various early versions of US Army Air Corps Forces aircraft models such as the B-17 Flying Fortress and the North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, as illustrated in the Airborne Radio Equipment Handbook dated 1943, be sure to see the diagrams in the photos section. These are similar to the more common AN-104 Mast Antenna used in later aircraft versions.
This antenna was typically positioned atop the fuselage and behind the cockpit. It features a metal ring at the top for attaching a wire command set antenna which ran to the top of the tail. The construction is that of a wood mast encased in thin metal with a cable running internally lengthwise from tip to a junction at the base. The junction box would be installed beneath the skin of the fuselage, with the mast protruding upright externally. Measures approximately 29 inches in length.
