I doubt its off a B29.

The only way we can determine what it came off of is too look closely at the skin rivit patterns and see if it matches an allied wing.

I still reckon its from a B-25. Maybe we should place bets..?

As stated - it's part number sequence matches what was put out by North American.

I think that everything that the person knows has been posted. I really don't think there is anymore there to say.

Hey folks, utterly fascinating stuff. I am agreeing with Cienfuegos re: a tail plane section of a bomber of some sort.

Keep us updated Wrath1, and a very interesting insight, very much appreciated.

I've read through all 11 pages of this thread and have to say I really enjoy the intrigue that's developed here, plus all of Wrath1's fantastic photos.

I look forward to more pix of the wing and everyone here chipping in to help solve the mystery. 8)

Kid - read the whole post - we identified the part numbers and even some of the rivet heads on the wing - If it was Japanese it probably would of corroded away years ago...

P38 Pilot was "teachable", thus tolerated.

I wonder what happened to him?

Vertical stabilizer off a B-24? Trying to think of other aircraft with a near-vertical tailfin... Hmmm...
