Identification aircraft part, probably B-26
 
3 Attachment(s)
Dear all,

Last winter a part of a leading edge washed ashore onto the beach in Holland. The size is about 1 metres and quite distinctive as it includes landing light bay and de-icing boot.

It appears to be of US origin as it has purple stamps in it and stainless steel screws.

The part resembles the leading edge of a B-26 Marauder, however, different wings with and without de-icing boots were used on various subtypes.

I wonder if anybody can identify this part and/or point out whether this matches with the kind of wings/leading edges used on the B-26B-4-MA subtype?

Thanks in advance for your effort,
Hans
