A person is looking for ID of this section on a B-24 which was shot down, and this was found in his grandmother's barn recently. I am no expert, but it looks to me like upper fuselage skin where the radio-compass " football " attached, and behind it, another antenna. He says it is about 60 inches long by 55 inches wide.
Does anyone have good pics of this area of a B-24 to see if I am on the right track, or if I am wrong, tell us what/where this might be from on a B-24 ?

That sure looks like rusty steel. Did they use steel on a B24?

I don't think that part is off a 24. Certainly not around the adf football mount.The part does look like it had some shape in it before the bulldozer ran over it.

Formation light, looks like from the top of the fuselage just forward of the horizontal
