ELINT B-17 15th AF
This B-17 phot I found on one the numerous post WWII era publications of the 15th Air Force , is indicated in there the is aircraft was specifically assigned for electronic warfare (SIGINT /COMMINT) tasks on missions from Bari, Italy . This must have been the infancy of ELINT / SIGINT and COMMINT warfare . I looked through all of the 5th BW groups of the 15th AF to determine which unit may have operated such aircraft in 1944 though so far no success . The aircraft seems not to carry any related SIGINT antennas, sensors or signal intel devices and the painting job must have been done in the last moment .
PS : how do I attach the photo other than links ?
