B-17 Turbo Superchargers...

Sat Dec 29, 2007 8:25 pm

Hello all...

I have a very strange question... :shock:

I need pics of a close up side view of the turbo superchargers under a B-17 wing... (if that's possible number 1 and 2 engine)


It's for my B-17's draws...

Like that and many other WWII planes: http://profilavions.canalblog.com/

Thanks for your help... :wink:

They are the same turbos as are installed on the B-24, and P-38, so you can use a side view of either of those as well

There is a fairly good close up photo in this thread:

I shot these on Aluminum Overcast in Sept. Sorry, most seem to be from no. 3 or 4. I hope they help.

I'll add this one from Ol 909 taken in '06... again I seem to hang out under the right side, more shade perhaps. Just flop the photo and you have a good No.1 shot.
