I think the problem was that they couldn't get the wings off in the swamp without torch cutting the fittings.

Pretty historic event that is taking place in that this B-17E was accepted by the US Army on Dec. 6, 1941, the day before the Pearl Harbor attacks. Now it sits on the very land where the US was brought into the war.

I bet someone posting in this thread knows the answer. Whether he'll share what he knows is another matter. ;-)

Because the director of the museum is a liberal and does not tolerate right wings ?

Just a guess

The wings have the crap beat out of them. Holes, bent out of shape, chopped, you name it. I have a bunch of pics from mid-november if someone could guide me how to post them.
