    Hello all

    Yesterday I received what is believed to be a part of a B-17 that crashed near my little village in Belgium. It is believed to be a part of this airplane: Monument voor bemanning B-17G 42-97848 M-JW | Hangar Flying (Sorry, it is in Dutch).

    Can anyone confirm this is a part of a B-17, and tell me which part of the plane this is?

    Thanks, very interesting. To me it looked a bit 'small' to be part of a B-17, then again I'm far from familiar with parts of airplanes.
