Thanks for your input guys, I will ask my friends to maybe clean it a bit with hot water inside out to see if something extra comes up, as you can imagine we are struggling too to find out what we actually bought :) And also provide better pics of the rivets

Thank you very much MiTasol for your extensive explanation ! It is very possible that the seller lied to us, although we also bought from him two oxygen tanks which he claims that were recovered by his father from the same crash location during WW2. I am attaching photos with one of them...

Airframes do you happen to have a larger res photo from post #7 ? Or do you know which B-24 it is so I can look up further ? Thank you LE: found it : http://home.comcast.net/~bzee1b/bombers/P1490419.jpg The closing mechanism seems slightly different, on the other hand the hatch is too "thin"...

The approximate dimensions are 63 x 63 cm or 25 x 25 inches, sadly nothing else can be picked up from it, no markings whatsoever. One more thing, the inside handle seems to be from an fireproof material of sorts.

Thank you very much for your feedback guys, Flyboy we weren't able too see any kind of numbering in or outside the door so far. PS: It should be this one right ?

Hello all, a friend of mine bought the hatch from a peasant who lives near a former B-24 crash site in Romania and claimed it was belonging to that aircraft, we are not able though to positively match it to a B-24 one, so maybe it is of German origin, any ideas ?

The book will be available for sale starting with this weekend via ebay, I will update the thread with the auction link.

I hope it will ! Some sample pages kindly provided by the author :

Not yet i'm afraid, the biggest issue will be the distribution I guess since it will be self-published.

Well, given the fact that the Romanian Air Force used so many different aircraft originating from various nations during the war the He 111 is more fitting for the context i guess :)

Hello all ! This book will be published soon, it has 260 pages, approximately 450 b/w photos with the aircraft that operated in Romania under civil and military registration between 1909 - 1948, included a brief history of aeronautics in Romania, and lists with registration numbers and...

Yeah Rogi i would love to see them too :)

Two Stukas for today, the famous "Hai Noroc" no. 861 and another one nicknamed "Mâţ" which means little kitty

Glad you like it guys ! 2013 will be a hell of a year over here i'm sure, we managed to secure a pretty big team and are already gathering info for several Luftwaffe/USAF crash sites which haven't been researched before.

Sorry but i couldn't find a right section for this, hopefully it fits good here ! These were discovered by me and a couple of friends this summer. Parts of Heinkel-111 H-2 / 1G+LP of 6./KG27 | Facebook
