August 21 2022 Update
There was at least an early, middle, and late S-2E antenna configuration, the major difference possibly being the routing of a wire antenna going to the underside of the right horizontal stabilizer. These are all of the middle configuration.
These is a picture of an Australian S-2G. I'm pretty sure that it was identical to the middle S-2E configuration.
This view from the right side depicts the location of the termination of antenna in the fuselage on the right side and the mid-point attachment to the tall mast (green line) of the antenna going aft from the most forward antenna mast.
This is a summary of differences between the late S-2E USN configuration and the USN S-2G.
Any update on your highly anticipated book on the Grumman S2F Tracker?
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking - Steve Ginter has the manuscript, illustrations, and captions. He is in the process of laying it out while waiting for the last input on another monograph that is ahead of it in his queue. It may be available as early as Christmas but more likely early next year.
