Re: Unknown Jet Part Recovered from Freeman Field

Hey Guys!

What I do now for sure is that in 1945, most parts from Wright Field were transferred to Freeman. So none of these parts are remains from post-war-engines. I was told without a doubt that they found the remains of a HeS 011.

The pic above are from the Freeman Field page on facebook. The pic on the right is the part I have.

A lot of prototype engines and parts were found...many incomplete. For example, they never brought up a "complete" engine...not even a DB601 or 605. Engine blocks and parts, yes...but it seems like the entire dig consisted of spare parts (7 unused Me109 tail gear, for example)

Most of the blades/fan blades were 004 and 003. I have some of those here.

Mike
