Re: Brazilian P-47D wreck (Gothic Line, Italy)
Hello mazwork,
Not an expert on P-47 parts but your mystery relic from the Brazilian crash looks like it could be part of the engine. The aluminum casting may be a rocker arm cover for one of the cylinder valves on an R-2800. The rusty piece does resemble a rocker arm. Do you have any more info on the crash, name of pilot, etc? Many thanks for sharing.
Bob
