I recently purchased a propeller blade and I was hoping for any information that people can provide. I am still working on deciding how to finish it so any information on paint or finish would also be appreciated. There are quite a few similar props, so I want to try and be as accurate as...
This propeller was found on the east coast of Bornholm, Denmark in the Baltic Sea after WWII. I am looking for information of what type of plane it comes from, and if so maybe more? It might come from af british og US plane, og even af German og russian plane - we don't know. Maybe one of you...
Hello everyone, I would appreciate any insight on this blade and another that is identical, I was told it was B17 or B24 but shortly thereafter realized it was not.
I bought these two identical blades and one P38 Curtiss blade in Walla Walla, WA. The original owner is deceased but supposedly...
Hello All,
In a previous thread I had questions about the R-1820 engines that our foundation was donated. Now, with engines in hand and one of our goals being to get at least one engine running, we are seeking a propeller. It is a 23E50, I believe. (We are also seeking 1-2 starter motors...
Hi Everyone - I'm new here so be gentle :)
I recently came into possession of two wooden propellers with metal on the leading edges. They are 36" in length and 7" at the widest point. They have Hamilton stickers on them but there are no other markings that I can see. The only mark is a patent...
Recently I've had reason to look into the gritty mechanical details of high-displacement aero engines in general and the Allison V-1710 in particular. All sources broadly agree that the V-1710 (excluding a few late-war models) generated its maximum power around 3,000 RPM, that it utilized a...
Hey guys,
We just purchased a propeller blade from the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, and it arrived today. I'm wondering if someone here can help me out with some info on the blade.
The markings on the blade are as follows:
DWG. No. 7035A-9
Serial Number: N730916

Hi, my late father was into his historic aircraft in a big way. In a corner of his garage I found this propeller blade.
It has a label on it stating its a wellington bomber propeller blade, this wouldn't surprise me given his interest.
I have searched the internet to try and ID the markings with...

Hi all, apologies for crashing into the forum with a question.
I've had this Rotol type propeller in my possession for some 15 odd years. My wife bought it for me as a Birthday present from the small ads in Flypast. The seller didn't know what it was from but sold it as 1940's vintage...
Hey Guys! I'm new to posting on here, but have been on the site a few times before to look around.
Today I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on some propellers that I have an opportunity to purchase. Sadly, I don't have any better photos. And I've not yet see the blades in person...

Hi all,
This is my first post, so let me begin by saying hello!
I've recently acquired a WW2-era propeller as part of my collection and, not being an aircraft guy, would like some help identifying the plane it came from.
It was sold to me as an Avro Anso prop, but I can see straight...
I bought four airplane propellers and would like to identify what type of airplane they came from. The blades are in good shape but the ring at the base is corroded, can't find any numbers on the the props they look to me like a B17 propeller. I believe the were used for a different application...
