I put a posting on the next page (at least for today) regarding Preddy's Cripes 3rd....it went down with another pilot in 1945...not knowing the circumstances of whether it hit hard or soft...think of the possibilities if bits of this plane were found. It is a truly historic Mustang...even if 1/2" x 1/2" pieces would be found...the museums could benefit in helping tell his story and the a/c story. It was there. There are hundreds of a/c sites across Europe with potential to tell these stories and none are too insignificant. This board is a wonderful pool of knowledge for both warbird recoveries and warbird remains. Let the links and recoveries fly!!
On this same note I stand in awe of a recovered vertical stabilizer from a 15th Air Force B-17 now enshrined at the USAF Museum. It spent the last 50 or so years as a shed wall. It is a really unique piece of history.
