LarryM3 Posted November 17, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 17, 2014 The R-14 designation applied to the receivers themselves. The R-14 receivers were standard and were used in many different type headsets. The wiring net used in Rawlings pattern tank helmets of WWII was the HS-23. There was a HS-18 (brain fart here) set used by the Air Corps which was identical except for the length of the main cord. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted November 17, 2014 ok, fine but, which one do I have here?? air corps or tanker??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M24 Chaffee Posted November 17, 2014 Share #9 Posted November 17, 2014 It looks like the shorter Air Force version. But I believe tankers used both versions. The site below is a great resource.
