Goodyear Aircraft B-26 Wing Assembly Line

I would assume they'd just build new planes..hardly made sense to retrofit old aircraft when they were cranking out new ones in such numbers. The wings probably came from a "used" bird that was parted out.

If you look at the old wings just outboard of the engine the flaps area look to be about half the size of the new wings.

I'm a volunteer at MAPS working on videos. I would like to use your images of the B-26 wing production line for a video I'm working on about the MAPS B-26. Please contact me at itvmitch@aol.com.
thanks

Here are just some pics from the Goodyear Aircraft B-26 Wing Assembly Line at Akron. Enjoy!

(I think they could have used a bit faster shutter speed on some of them! )

I will send you an email. These photos are all in the collection at MAPS (this was part of a donation that I catalogued and scanned back when I was a volunteer there in college).
