*Rare US WW2 Paratrooper MX-183/PPN-2 BEACON RADIO BAG
**Great Condition**
The WW2 US Army Eureka MX-183/PPN-2 Paratrooper pathfinder beacon bag...Possibly for air drop of equipment on D-Day 1944
"Rebecca" was the receiver for the "Eureka" system that paratroopers used on the ground during an airborne landing. The PPN-1 or PPN-2 "Eureka" was a beacon that put out a signal for the
C-47s to follow. Almost every C-47 that flew in Normandy and later had the AN-147 and AN-148 Antennas mounted on the nose for "Rebecca".
Still a very rare WW2 airborne paratrooper field piece
The Bag is as far as I can tell complete with its straps and in pretty good condition considering its age
