    Parts of USAF Bomber
    Hallo Leute

    Vor einiger Zeit erfuhr von einem Landwirt den ungefähren Absturzort eines Amerikanischen Bombers. Ich habe die Stelle mit dem Metaldetektor gesucht und wurde schnell fündig. Ein kleines Waldstück auf einem Berg in Niederösterreich das übersäht mit Teilen des Bombers ist. Ich habe die Stelle mittlerweile 2 mal besucht und hab ingesamt 4 Kisten mit Teilen geborgen. Die meisten Teile sind geschmolzenes Alu/Eisen, hunderte Bmg Hülsen,unmengen an Plexiglas, Schrauben usw. Doch auch interessante Cockpit Teile wie Schalter und Armaturen Reste hab ich gefunden. Weiters habe ich mehrere "Bomb Hooks" und sehr viele Flak West Platten gefunden. Ich hatte noch nicht viel Zeit die Teile zu sortieren doch ich habe mal ein paar Teile, die für mich interessant aussehen,Fotografiert. Ich werde immer wieder wenn ich Zeit habe neue Teile einsstellen vielleicht kann ja was indentifiziert werden ;) Bin zwar nicht sehr gut in englisch werde aber versuchen das ganze zu übersetzen.

    A Few weeks ago a farmer told me about a crash site from a american Bomber. I searched for site and found it with a metal detektor. The crash site is on a small mountain in Austria. I visited the crash site a few times and I already found 4 Boxes full of Parts. The most parts are melted Aluminim, lots of BMG Rounds, Plexiglas but also interesting things like cockpit parts. I took a couple of Fotos from the parts that look interesting to me. In the next time I will post more fotos of interesting parts. Maybe some things can get identified.

    Greetings Simon

    Hallo,

    Do you have a date for this crash?

    Bild Nr. 6 ist eine "Starre" Camlock Haltenocke, es ist mehr oder weniger ein Schnellverschluss, diese gibt es auch als "Schwimmende / Bewegliche" ausführung. Man findet sich oft bei Wartungdeckel oder Rumpfteilen die man schnell abnehmen muss für Wartungen etc. ! Wo ist der Fundsort bzw welche grössere ortschaft ist in der nähe?

    picture nr 6 is a "Camlock", you will find this part in every Aircraft.
    Where in Lower Austria is the crashplace? Please tell me the city name and i can look in my list of Lower Austria.

    whats a "camlock" ?
    i have one as well



    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    schiefer1000 - 15.09.2007, 23:04


    Danke für die Antwort habe ingesamt schon sicher 10 von den dingern gefunden. Teilweise noch mit schönen Lackresten. Größere Ortschaften wären Neunkirchen Ternitz Puchberg wenn man das als groß bezeichnen kann.

    Thanks for the Answer. I alredy found about 10 of those locks.

    also da hätten wir mal in der richtung:

    23.4.44 - B24H - ser.nr. 41-29326 - Altendorf bei Gloggnitz ??

    wir hätten dann noch einige in Kirchberg am Wechsel einen in Mollram aber das ist dann schon eher wieder richtung Neustadt .... Name des Fundortes wäre halt besser.

    PS: du bist aus meiner gegend ;)



    On 23.4.44 there crahed a B24H Ser.Nr. 41-29326 in the near of the village´s names what you write down ... i think the exactly name of the village is better because in this area there we have a lot of crashes ;)

    PS: you live next to me :D

    Hi Simon.
    Picture 16,looks like a radiator cap complete with the chain so you can't drop or loose the cap.The design of the cap is the same as modern caps with the two ears which allows you to grip to either tighten or loosen, is the under side threaded?
    So are we looking for a inline water cooled engine bomber??

    :!: :!: Oh Oh Oh !!!!

    i have found in you pictures "cal.50bmg" Projectiles!! Don´t take it at home !!!!! Be Carefull.

    Have you learn anything in the ARMY about cal.50bmg Ammo ??? I think: NO :roll:


    :!: Bitte lass die .50bmg Projektile liegen und nimm sie nicht mitnachhause! Die sind noch gefüllt auch wenn es für dich nicht so aussieht! hast du beim Heer was über diese Muni Art erfahren? Nimm sie vorsichtig und entsorge sie wieder!

    Vielen Dank für die Super Hilfe die Bilder haben mir sehr weitergeholfen. Die Bmg Geschoße werde ich wenn mehrere vorhanden sind melden bis dahin werden sie im Wald verbleiben. Ich war heute nochmal bei der Absturzstelle und hab wieder 2 Kisten geborgen. Unter den vielen Teilen habe ich was sehr interessantes gefunden. Ein Art Uhrwerk welches auf einer Platte montiert ist. Leider sind keine ausführlichen Stempel vorhanden. Ich habe ein paar Fotos gemacht. Ich hoffe man kann das sicher nicht haüfig vorkommende Teil bestimmen.

    Thank all for the help !! Today I visited the crash site and found I plate with a very complicated mechanism. There are no cleaer letters stamped on the plate. I made some fotos I hope somebody can identify the objekt.

    The part looks like a Radiocompas !?



    schiefer1000 told me some information about the Relicts, he found the parts near a village with the name "Sieding"

    In Sieding there Crashed a B17.

    Der Bomber der in nähe Sieding abgestürzt ist leider nicht das Flugzeug was ich gefunden habe. Der Absturzort in Sieding ist bekannt. Meine Maschine bleibt noch unbekannt.

    The Bomber that crashed near Sieding is not the Bomber that I found.The crashsite near sieding is known. My Aircraft stays unknown.

    Keine Idee zum unbekannten Teil?
    No idea what the unknown Part could be ?

    Heute habe ich in eines der Kisten ein Teil mit einer Nummer gefunden. Vielleicht kann man etwas anhand der Nummer bestimmen ?

    Today i found a part with a number on it. Maybe somebody can indentify the objekt ?

    Die Nummer lautet SW 00792

    Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob die Nummer komplett ist weil eine Bruchstelle hinter der Nummer ist.

    The numberis SW 00792

    Im not sure if the number is complett because behind the code the part is damaged.

    guys, I think it´s no part from compass, too much mechanic inside...
    maybe a part from auto pilot assembly ?

    The other part of aluminium, with black colour, could be a part from engine mounting !

    Danke für die Antworten.

    Das unbekannte mechanische Teil ist tatsächlich ein Teil vom Bomb Sight.
    Auf den letzten beiden Bildern der Anleitung sieht man mein Teil genauer.

    Thanks for the help.

    The unknwon mechanic mechanism is a part from the Bomb sight. On the last 2 photos of the manual from Pauls link you can see my part.

    Hallo Leute

    Nach kurzer Pause geht es weiter :D Ich war wieder ein paar mal bei der Absturzstelle. Neben Ausrüstungsteilen (Fallschirm Schnallen, Reißverschlüsse usw.) hab ich auch Motorteile Gefunden. Hier ein teil mit einer Kompletten Ersatzteil Nummer (?). Die Aufschrift lautet: DO D1 SG-1301-R kann man das Teil zuordnen ? Fotos von den anderen Sachen werde ich morgen einstellen sobald ich die Teile fertig gereinigt habe.

    Hi

    I visited the crash site again and found new parts. Along parachute parts and zips I found alot of Motor parts. Here a part with a complete number : DO D1 SG-1301-R can anybody indentify this part ?. Fotos of the other parts are coming tomorrow as soon everthing is cleaned.

    Thanks alot Greetings Simon

    Pathfinder - 12.10.2007, 22:39


    Hi Simon,

    sadly your photo is very unsharp ;-)
    This number is not known. Can you read the number clear ?


    Nils



    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    schiefer1000 - 12.10.2007, 23:04


    Hi



    The number is clear DO D1 stands alone then SG-1301-R
    The material is very heavy.

    Better photos..

    An other unindentified part with a number AN 6530 I already found two of of them Maybe from the flying googles ??






    greetings Simon



    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    Pathfinder - 12.10.2007, 23:16


    Thanks for the new photos !

    the new number is also not known, sorry.
    The letter "-R" means the right site. I think it is one site of a frame...

    The last part could be a lashing strap or taut ribbon.


    Regards
    Nils

    Hallo vielen Dank für die hilfreichen Antworten !
    Laut dem Zeitzeugen sind 8 Besatungsmitglieder abgesprungen einer verstarb beim Aufprall dieser wurde später von den Russen geborgen sowie die Triebwerke usw. Ich werde aber trotzdem nach Sterblichen Überresten ausschau halten und wenn gefunden selbstverständlich melden.

    Hello

    Thanks for the helpfull answers.

    The Farmer told me that 8 of the crew members left the bomber. One died as the plane crashed. The russians recovered the body and other parts of the plane. I will look carefully for human remains.

    Hallo Leute

    Ich habe gestern ein paar alte Leute aus der Gegend über den Bomber befragt und neue Informationen erhalten. Das Flugzeug soll im Mai 1944 abgestürzt sein. Beide Piloten konnten den Flieger nicht verlassen und wurden beim aufprall getötet. 2 Andere wurden 250 Meter vor der Absturzstelle tot aufegefunden. Wahrscheinlich ist der Fallschirm nicht aufgegangen. Die Bergung der Motoren und anderen Rumpfteilen wurde nicht wie vermutet von den Russen, sonderen von der SS beauftragt. Die waren zufällig in der nähe der Stelle stationiert und konnten gleich nach dem Absturz mehrere Leute gefangen nehmen. Vielleicht hilft der Zeitraum für die Bestimmung is bisschen weiter.

    Hello

    Yesterday I asked some old people about the crash of the Bomber and got some new information. The plain crashed in 1944 probably in mai. Both pilots died as the plain crashed two others where found 250 meters from the crashsite away. The parachute didn`t open. The plain parts weren`t revovered by the russians. The SS forced the farmers to get all big parts like the engines. The other crew members that jumped of the plain got captured by the SS. Maybe the time period of the crash helps to indentify the bomber.

    Thanks alot

    Simon,

    picture 21 cannot be a part of a demand oxygen system.
    these AC had a constant feed oxygen system.
    maybe the word is command oxygen.... not demand?

    some nice finds here

    Roy



    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    schiefer1000 - 26.10.2007, 17:32


    Hello

    Im not sure could be "command" to. A month ago I saw a picture of a "demand oxygen regulator" somewhere in the internet that looked simular to my piece. But I cant find the picture.

    Simon



    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    Roy N - 26.10.2007, 17:41


    Simon,

    ive just rechecked and yes you could be right. it seems the oxgen was selected by the crewman as demand or constant. ...... you win :n57:

    the Kurbel ( ;) ) looks like either the one used to lower the wheels manually or maybe the one for the ball turret?

    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    Roy N - 26.10.2007, 18:05


    if its for the landing gear. it would fit in a hole in the forward section of the bomb bay when being used.

    Paul - 26.10.2007, 23:06


    'Cranks for manual operation of landing gear, wing flaps, and bomb bay doors, and for hand starting of engines, are stowed on the aft bulkhead of the radio compartment. Crank extensions for use when operating engine starters, bomb doors, and wing flaps are stowed adjacent to the cranks'.

    TYPE K-1 SPECIFICATION No. 1906467
    ORD NO AC 25807 SER NO AC 41-19099

    Could the SER NO 41-19099 be the Serial number of the Plane ??

    Ill make a foto later.

    it could be from "Oxygen Control System". A photo could be helpful !

    The serial number indicated only the serial number of this item !

    If the serial number (41-19099.) is only for this item why stands AC (aircraft) serial no. and not item serial no. ????

    Hello Nils

    Thanks for the answer

    I found the rating plate under alot of plexiglas wher the nose of the plane crashed. I was alreading hoping that the Ac Ser No is the Serial number of the plane because they look so simular.

    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    the serial number 41-19099 was not used for a US aircraft ;)

    Hi

    Here some other finds from yesterday. We searched in the area where the glass nose hit the ground.In the near I found the computer part of the norden bomb sight. We found very much plexi glass in all shapes and parts of the instrument panel from the cokpit. Does somebody know where the green bakelit was used ?

    The big bakelit part is stamped with 2089*7
    The aluminium hook has no stamps.

    simon








    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    Pathfinder - 28.10.2007, 17:12


    On the first view, I would say the hook comes from the bomb rack, but this hooks of B-17G and B-24G looks similar :-k

    schiefer1000 - 28.10.2007, 17:18


    Hi

    I allready found bomb hooks at the crashplace. My hook is a bit smaller then a bomb hook. I think the hook was attached somewhere on the outside of the plane. Probably at the nose. Is the number on the bakelit part a spare parts number or a manufacturer number ?

    simon



    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    Pathfinder - 28.10.2007, 17:46


    The number of the bakelit part should be the number from manufacturer.

    Nils



    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    Roy N - 28.10.2007, 18:00


    Nils,

    Simon is correct. the hook looks too small to be from the bombay.
    on aircraft with cheek guns there was a cable that fitted to the gun and was attached to the top of the roof. i think it was used as a counter balance.
    its possible it could be what the hook was used for?. i cannot find a photo that shows it.
    do you have a diagram that shows how the cable was attached to the top of the nose compartment?.

    Roy



    Re: Parts of USAF Bomber

    Roy N - 28.10.2007, 19:33


    Having checked, i can now say the hook is nothing to do with the cheek guns :???:
    its nothing ;like the cable mountings used there.

    Hello

    Thank you for the information.

    I found out some new things about my crashplace. The B17 is probably indentified. As I was looking in google I found a Post in a other forum. There somebody wrote that in Puchberg am Schneeberg the B17 42-31818 crashed. The year and the month of the crash is identic to the information that an old man told me. I think it is the same Aircraft.

    Does somebody have more information about the B17 42-31818 ?

    Thanks Simon

    Ja du hast recht !

    Gehe aber stark davon aus das "meine" B17 auch aus Wr Neustadt kam. Wahrscheinlich sehr stark durch Jäger und Flak getroffen. Laute Zeitzeugen brannte die B17 schon in der Luft.

    Yes

    Probably came my B17 from Wr Neustadt and crashed in cause of heavy damages. An eye whitness told me that my B17 already burned as it was flying.

    Absolut Genial !!!!!! Das Passt ! Genau hinter der Sierningthaler Hütte befindet sich die Absturzstelle. Also wäre die Maschine endlich eindeutig indentifiziert.

    Vielen Dank an alle !

    Super !! Thats it. Behind the Sierningthaler Hütte is the crashplace. The B17 is identified.

    Thanks all.

    Hello



    After a winter break I visited the crashsite of the B17 G again. I found this part. It is marked with 258-7021. Maybe a motor part ?

    Greetings Simon

    No ideas ?

    Could the number be a part number from a B17 ?

    Hello

    I received the MACR of the Bomber. After one of the crew members stands DED. What does DED mean ? 2 crew members are marked with KIA and the rest with POW but I never heared DED !?

    Thanks Simon

    Simon,

    DED = Determined Dead (Tod festgestellt)

    Do you have now more details from the crash site ?
    Do you have contact to a relative of the crew ?
