A couple of them told me that during and after the war many un-needed subassemblies were trucked to Wingfoot Lake and dumped...since they built a number of different types, who knows if or what is in that lake?
Jim--
Fascinating...and if these were only parts, never fitted to aircraft as such, they would never have been on Navy charge either. Any way of having a go at the lakebed with imaging equipment, I wonder...? (What instantly comes to mind is the idea of some Corsair componentry to help re-complete Walt Soplata's FG-1A "Lucky Gallon" someday...)
