Name these WWII Aircraft Windows w/ Pics

Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:57 pm

I have two (U.S. WWII?) aircraft windows. The top one....I have no idea. The second is glass and marked with the part number prefix 32F (B-24) but I am unfamiliar with this window (it isn't from a late B-24 that I know of). Any ideas? Fire away!

The top one looks like one of those B-24 Windshield Vent Windows found on the later aircraft.

Ok....the top window is not one of the vent windows on a B-24. I have owned those before and they are much larger.

The bottom glass IS from a B-24 Liberator! It is the Pilot side center glass that goes next to the vent window (the left glass of of the three center glass pieces). I photographed it the way I thought it should go...when in fact it is actually upside down in the photo.

Kind of looks like a light weight beer can to me.

Could the top one be Lockheed Hudson or PV-1?
