Can someone tell me what this is? First part number 6-10495-1 is. Below that number is C294 (or 0294) followed by "Boeing." It is connected to part number 1-21275-1. Supposedly from a B-17E training crash. The notation on the part should reference prefix "41" and not "42." 41-9091 is a well documented B-17E wreck in New Mexico in 1942. The ship belonged to the 303rd and the crew was to be deployed to England the next day.

Thanks very much.

Can't find either part number in the B-17E parts catalogue. All the B-17 TOs and manuals I have in this download link (from a fully up to date AV computer)

Thank you SO much for this. Neither a parts assembly or individual parts are anywhere to be found in reference to the Flying Fortress.

Thank you again.

Are you interested in any other aircraft? I might have APs, TOs or manuals for them available.
 
Heck, you sent me so many good files on the Flying Fortress, I don't think I'll have time to read any others! I'm good, and THANK YOU. As I used to say to my kids when they were little, "you're a good sharer".
