NORTH AMERICAN O-47
Created 1-22-10
Below are photos that I took of the North American O-47 that is in storage at the National Air an Space Museum.
This Aircraft is certainly a treasure as it is all original and retains most all of its equipment. Thanks to the National Air and Space Museum for preserving this rare bird.
If you have any comments, stories, information about the O-47 and would like it posted here please let me know and I will be happy top do so.

Here is a BC-307-A transmitter made by General Electric on contract 13038-NY-37 with a dated 9-12-36. This along with the BC-224 make up the SCR-238.
Here is the BC-310 radio compass which was a part of the SCR-242. I didn't realize that they had remote and local control capability.
This is the BC-224 receiver. It is interesting that this was the only communications set in the aircraft. I would have expected a command set like the SCR-183. Note the trailing wire antenna just to the right of the receiver.
More information on the O-47 can be found here
