Steve,

One container has a P&W J33 for a T-bird and the other has a J48 for the Panther.

I think Mike Rawson may be in error when he said Roger was "Relieved" of one Panther by the Navy. He has only ever mentioned having just one and that came from a tech school via Wright. It's possible the original deal from Wright included 2 Panthers but Wright lost one to the Navy before Roger ever consumated the deal with him. The Navy does want his Panther...very badley in fact!
