https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/attachments/f4f-f-5-wildcat-vf-3-uss-lexington-wreck-2-jpg.655852/ This F4F seems to be piloted by whose name ends 'R'; with four kills and one bombing hit at the sinking of the LEX, when referring to a pic of Lieutenant Edward H. O'Hare in the below web page...

Shinpachi-san, Thank you always. I am quite flexible on this so added suggested texts in the explanation section as attached. Will go report to the local museum next week. Best regards, M. Tanaka

Hi, here attached is my summary to be submitted to the local museum, for your review. If anything critical, would be appreciated if you let me know. Many thanks, mt

Shimpachi-san, Thank you always. Actually, Iwasaki-san, another old man on the video, is the man who has directly asked me for the research. I am keeping updated him of any developments here. If I add Iwasaki-san's comment; - The parts was found in a farm, nearby the tail part was fallen...

Shimpachi-san, Thank you; I am trying to get contact information of Mr. Shimada, though not sure if I could communicate with him as he should be now 92. Further information may follow. --- Anyway, if my understanding is correct; it would be No.25+29 of the below breakdown chart, consisting of...

Taking time more than expected, but please wait for a while until the local museum responses with new pics.

Shinpachi-san,. Thank you for reminding me of the video ! The part is exactly what I am trying to identify. I have heard that the part was picked up from underground 1 meter below by the owner of the field, so not sure an engineer could examine it at that time. Let me check if there is any...

Many thanks; yes, additional pictures are on the way as the local museum accepted my request; please give me a few more days. Meanwhile, it that is the case, where the motor is located on the B-29? Or, is it too common one that cannot be decided which one?

One more possibility; one of CFS amplidynes at the bank of firing commander seat?
