My favorite WWII aircraft: the F6F-3N night fighting Hellcat built with a radar in the fuselage and an antenna in a bulge on the wing. The inside cockpit was illuminated in red light and had a small monitor to view and operate the radar. It was considered to be leading edge tech during the war and was used to fight Japanese planes in the middle of the night.
