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

DUKWs all right...very swiss cheesed ones at that! You can see right through a few of them...rust and old OD paint is about all that holds 'em together.
Not really worth salvaging... not even good for parts.
The only reason they're still there is because the clean up crew has other things going on.

Hi,
There used to be a few Duwks at Ewardsville, Pa several years ago. My grandfather (long deceased) was in charge of the CD program. They had one running and had aquired several as parts sources. They all came missing the carborators and the drain plugs as I recall. As a little tyke of about -8- at the time, I spent my summer vacation helping to scrape and repaint the working one as I was the only one small enough to fit under it. It got quite a workout when the river would flood. I haven'y any idea what became of them. They used to store them in a closed coal mine building.
TTFN....Kenn
