Hello all,
I am investigating an aircraft crash site near Sydney (Australia). We only have two parts above ground at the moment (pictures attached). They appear to be exhaust manifolds and an engine mounting? Can anyone help me identify what sort of engine they came from?
More importantly can the numbers from the wreckage be used to identify what sort of aircraft it might have come from? I can't correlate the numbers to the existing list on the aviation archaeology website, although I think the patent number is from a universal tube joint patented by Ryan Aeronatical in 1940.
Patent number: 2219752
Other numbers: 50062-4 with the letters AI nearby
10169 with the letters CL near by and a circled 45
Any leads much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Caitlin

Hi Caitlin,
Maybe a PT-22?

Hi Caitlin,
here I have a photo of a end of the tube.
The patent no. and part number is the same as yours. Sadly I cannot say the source of this photo, but it should be fixed on a B-17.
Regards
Nils

Thought I should add a little more information. The sketchy oral history we have suggests it may have been a single seater with an all metal fuselage, piloted by an American. This is not an entirely reliable account though.
Having looked at lots of photos of engines and exhaust manifolds I have been wondering if the engine is a Pratt and Whitney of some sort. Of course this doesn't necessarily help narrow things down too much as they were so prevalent.
