B-17 Engine Mount

tarmacbum · **Posted:** Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:13 pm

This historic B-17 Engine Mount was used to mount an experimental engine on the nose of a 5 engine B-17 (N5111L) once owned by Pratt & Whitney. Today, this aircraft flies as "Liberty Belle". We are looking for a good home for this historical artifact and are willing to sell or trade. Does anyone know who might be interested in this?

Thanks!

I just put a photo of the B-17 using this mount on Photobucket

I got the N number wrong, it was N5111N. Is there a B-17 museum somewhere that might want to display this? Does anyone know the Liberty belle folks? Thanks.
