Hi all,

Just back from visiting a small private museum near the town of Beauvais, north of Paris, very close of WWII field A-61, home for the 322nd Bomb Group for a few months. Many of the relics displayed there (american, british, german, and a few french) have been donated by locals, some uniforms and equipments given by veterans. Here is a link to the website of this nice little museum:

Some relics and parts displayed have not been correctly identified, and I am going to work this out with the curator,sending him technical infos and pictures to provide a correct identification. However, I am having a little problem with this seat:

The placard says it's a pilot's seat from a B-24, which is in fact the seat on its left. The real B-24 seat has a placard saying it's from a Curtiss C-46 Commando, so I thought at first they had inverted the placards, but the period pictures and manual drawings I just checked show that it is not a pilot (or co-pilot) C-46 seat. would any of you know from which plane (obviously transport or bomber) this seat is coming from.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Laurent
