Marcin Witkowski, Poland Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Last weekend I was walking thru the forest looking for mushrooms (very popular in Poland). I'm not so good in this case, but I'm happy because I found a part of construction of US plane from WWII era. Unless I guess. I'm not sure. Frankly speaking I love Mustang, Spitfire and few other WWII planes but I'm not able to recognize which plane this part belongs to. I hope to find help from one of You. Maybe You'll find this part on some pictures of real planes. It's an aluminium part and as You can see it's a little bit twisted. It's about 80cm long. I have some information about Liberator whitch was shoot down during bombing mission over Kędzierzyn Koźle city in Poland back in 44'. This plane crashed near Krupski Młyn village. One of the crew members is still alive. Some guys in Poland are going to take a movie about this mission. http://www.liberator.b-24.pl/ The place where I found this part is on probably course from Kędzierzyn Koźle to Krupski Młyn. So this might be a part of B-24 but as I mentioned I don't have certainty. Photos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackhawk7 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I don't know what t is excatly, or what it came from, but it does look in remarkably good condition for having been in the forest for 60 yrs. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sig Saur & Son Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Rusty, Could not agree more. Loved the guy beating away with a shovel on an unknown object only to discover it's a land mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
