Can't put it in my living room, but this is an engine from a B-17 bomber found at an old bombing range. We found 3 of 4 engines and both landing gears. Bob
Are you kidding? The FLYING FORTRESS would not have been made of aluminum!Shortstack said:Warbirder, if you could get even ONE of those landing gears out, the scrap value of the aluminum alloy would be pretty great.
Or, were those made of steel back then?
If the landing gear are restoreable, that might be a money maker, too. I think there are only a half a dozen B-17s still flying.
