It's post-1943
that's when Pioneer became the Eclipse-Pioneer Division of Bendix Aviation
I'll go for oxygen regulator too

The AF43 of that number is the Vendor Code for Bendix Aviation. The rest of the number is the serial number. Hard to tell if that's the face or rear of the unit. It was probably used in multiple aircraft. Do you have info on the crash site?

It was found near Kedzierzyn-Kozle

Probably plane from 15th Air Force. But I'm not sure, my friend found it... I'll ask him for more informations.

EDIT
The most probably is that is a B24 Liberator from 450th Bombardment Group. My friend said that.

Post your pictures to this forum Heavy Very Heavy Bombers
There are several ww2 veterans around there, even former flight engineers of B-17s and B-24s.
There´s a chance.
