This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

O.K. all here goes one I never thought I'd do. I found photos of these crazy X shaped chocks that have a reenforcing cross bar at the bottom. I am trying to see if anyone has really seen these in person or has reference to them. I am a ground crew living historian for the EAA and also a real life aircraft mechanic and I set up WW2 ground crew displays here in Arizona and these would surely be an eye catcher if I could reproduce a set. Thanks.

i'd bet that most people on this site wouldn't even notice something so miniscule as to the detail in question when compared to looking at a big beautiful warbird, whether in a ww2 pic or at an air show !!! hope somebody can help you!! hopefully 1 of the wixers with an extensive photo library can dig up your answer.
