dont think i have ever seen a T44 in an A8b ??
nice catch and good eyes! some version of the Diluter Demand Oxygen Regulator. Bendix I believe made most if not all of them that were attached to tanks aboard the planes. looks like the standard A-10/A-14 oxygen hose. I wonder if there was an adaptor for the A-8B or if he is jacked into an A-8 or A-9 Bendix elsewhere.Hey in the pic of the 91st navigator there is a manifold(or a fixed regulator) behind him with an O2 extension hose clamped to it! Not sure where it goes but maybe to another regulator he's using for the A8? Had never seen that before.

Throat mics for sureI don't think I've ever seen any mic in an A-8B! I feel they didn't bother and just used throat mic or a T-17 handheld.
Thats what i was on about Dave when i mentioned the end of your hose .Hey in the pic of the 91st navigator there is a manifold(or a fixed regulator) behind him with an O2 extension hose clamped to it! Not sure where it goes but maybe to another regulator he's using for the A8? Had never seen that before.

Thanks. I’m a bit slow on the uptake.
