This was the picture I bought at the garage sale. It was framed and at the time I had not seen anything like it.

No, I think the engines on the B-19 probably were somewhat "small" for the size of the airplane. I think I have read that the B-19 was considered underpowered due to the fact that piston engine power and technology was not sufficiently advanced to power a plane that size when it first appeared.

Great picture!

Some pixellate is evident- is this repro from publication or some relief photo paper?

This is the first time I've ever noticed the apparent sweep of the wing. Is this just the perspective of the photo, or what?

I think its partly the perspective, and partly the dihedral of the wing. The leading edge is slightly swept, but I believe the trailing edge is pretty much straight, similar to a DC-3.

Here's a photo from another angle..

I though I would have noticed that before. Thanks for justifying my memory.

Nothing like sitting around, drinking beer, watching TV, and letting someone else do your research.

:drink3:
Cheers

Hello,

I visited the Tallichet wreck yard - just looking from outside the fence - in the early 1990s and thought I saw the forward fuselage of the B-19. I did not take any pictures and have never seen this confirmed by others.

Am I wrong?

Kevin,
