Vincennes Posted June 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 2, 2020 I just got a small scrapbook collection belonging to Captain Carl E. Orr (O-861896). He was attached to the 331st. Bomb Squadron of the 94th. Bomb Group in England in 1944-45. The scrapbook includes photos, menues, ID card, postcards, etc. of England and his training in the US. He was trained in Radar. I believe he was in charge of the maintenance on the radars installed in B-17's. I have chosen a few of the radar related photos to show here. #1 in a photo of the radar set installed on a B-17. The photo I have is on the left and I found a similar identified photo on the web which is on the right. #2 and #3 are shots inside a B-17 of a radar operator at his station.One more photo below.
