This is a lovely condition part from a very famous American B‑17G flying fortress lost in the last months of the war over the German Reich.
This electrical generator part which has been very well cleaned but has no maker markings and part numbers that can be seen and is 7 inches long by 4 inches wide in size. The part is mag allow and steel made and still retains a lot of its original colours with only a very light amount of surface rust in places and its internal shaft still in place and a lot of its wiring in place. The part does not have much damage from the impact of the crash but was well protected by the engine and nice condition part is very solid not braking up at all and has been very nicely cleaned and is perfect for display or any collection. This is a nice part for the collection the engine part comes with 2 X A5 laminated information cards with pictures and map.
The American B‑17G “Bull Session” (serial 43‑38911) was a 91st Bomb Group aircraft lost to flak over Cologne on 14 January 1945, with only one crew member surviving. The aircraft flew 18 missions as part of the Eighth Air Force’s strategic bombing campaign.
During a mission from England to Cologne, the aircraft received a direct flak hit to the nose section, causing a catastrophic explosion that blew off the forward fuselage and sent the aircraft into an uncontrollable vertical dive. Witnesses reported no visible smoke or flames, and most saw no parachutes, though one crewman was observed descending by chute.
