This is a very rare large section of mag allow engine case which has burnt and melted when the aircraft crashed and blew up the section has been well cleaned it is 7 inches long by 5 inches wide it still retains a lot of original colour it is still very solid not braking up at all and has been very nicely cleaned and rare bit of jet which there is very little about and is perfect for display or any collection. This part comes from German Arado 234 B-2 Jet fighter bomber work number 140589 F1+AS 9/KG76. The pilot was Oberfeldwebel Bruchlos he was killed when the jet was shot down attacking the Remagen Bridge on the 14th March 1945.The part comes with 2xA5 laminated information cards.
The most notable use of the Arado 234 in the bomber role was the attempt to destroy the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen. Between 7 March, when it was captured by the Allies, and 17 March, when it finally collapsed, the bridge was continually attacked by Ar 234s of III/KG 76 carrying 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) bombs. The aircraft continued to fight in a scattered fashion until Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945. Overall from mid-1944 until the end of the war a total of 210 aircraft were built. In February 1945, production was switched to the C variant. It was hoped that by November 1945 production would reach 500 per month.
