This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Just saw this posted on the American Airpower museum's Facebook page:
This week AAM was given an Landing gear found in a fisherman's net off the coast of LI. It has been ID'd so far as a main landing gear off of a B-24 Liberator. The Question is if this was found off NY's coast, where is the rest of the plane? And so the Mystery begins!

The 'Agony Wagon' had a nasty reputation as one of the few airplanes you didn't want to ditch or belly land in, so it could be in the area just spread out like mayonnaise at a weight watchers convention.
Any reports of B-24's lost/missing in that area since it is in the general area leading to Canadian Trans Atlantic ferry routes as well as anti submarine patrols.
