Ok, I appreciate this is a long shot, but does anyone happen to have for sale the upper section of a B-17 Control Column? The part I am after is the section that contains the master link and bearing and also the sprocket that attaches the control yoke to the control column, those that know B-17's will recognise it as the section that has the top inspection plate. Couldn't seem to attach a photo of what I am after for some reason??

Any help or leeds much appreciated.

Hello: Obtaining the upper section of a B17 column with the control head may indeed be a long shot. I collect aircraft control yokes and would like to obtain the upper sections of control columns for the B17, B29 and C97 to display the yokes I have. If I come across one (or more) I'll keep this post in mind.
