The inboard end of the center section wing had been sawn off midway through the fuel bay and the rest of the plane was nowhere to be found, presumably scrapped.





Looks like the remains of the US insignia on the upper surface of the wing:



Alas, the only B-25 parts I saw in China. Maybe the remains of that elusive Doolittle Raider????

Wrong exhaust system for a B model. Too bad...

Is that a P-61 tail in the back ground of one of those pictures?

It is, it was recently discussed here as well I think.

Yep: http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/p ... hp?t=13820

I just can't fool you'se guys!

Note the Holley Intake, those these were also found on the J Model version, these could be the remains of one of the H models supposedly under the Chinese umbrella of secrecy

Meaning the markings residue could be Chinese not U.S. since that's the topside of a right wing panel-not the usual place for U.S. markings

The shade of blue looks too light for US insignia as well.

I tried finding this on Google (where I originally found it), but for some reason can't get any matches. Good thing I kept a copy.

That stuff outta be recovered. The Chinese don't have a sense of a warbird movement.

BDK,
On your trip (and I know this a long shot) did you notice any Vultee P-66 or Republic P-43 parts that you could recognize? The rumors have been circulating for years that something may have survived.

No Vultee stuff... Saw a B-24 wing though.

Plenty of buildings with who-knows-what in them. All those buildings have been torn down now. Hopefully they saved everything that was in them.

More likely it's on the SALE table @ the DOLLAR STORE
