I am looking for more information about the AC-47 mission avionics during the Korean War. These were the venerable Dakotas fitted with radio receivers and other electronic equipment to intercept North Korean messages while airborne. Ca. 26 such planes were converted by Hayes in 1953. Does anyone know the mission complement of these Dakotas?
The AC-47 planes were known as the EC-47 after 1962.
Please do not confuse these planes with the AC-47D Spooky counter-insurgency aircraft. During the Korean War, armed Dakotas could have been known as the FC-47.
