View of the hub. One of the blades was broken off.
Some of the yellow paint on the tip still remains after 63 years.
After searching for about an hour found this area that I believe is the main crash site of the B-24D #42-72862. The USAAF accident report stated that the remains of the bomber were dynamited and buried on the salt flat. Looks like some of it is starting to reappear.
This was the largest piece of wreckage at the site.
These two pieces were inside. The part on the right is piece of one of the heads with a rocker arm and exaust valve from one of the four Pratt & Whitney R-1830-65 engines that powered the B-24.
The piece of head turned over to show the exaust valve. Salt is hard on aluminum.
More corroded aluminum. The salt flat is slowly eating away what little remains here.
Came upon what looks like a part of a parachute. It's hard to see in the photo, but buried on the left side is some bunched up fabric that looks like part of the canopy.
Some electrical stuff including a transformer.
Looks like one of the superchargers.
