Looking up at the impact area.
One of the main landing gears.
Lot a small pieces.
Large control cable pulley. The tail section can be seen below in the lower right corner of photo.
Pushrod from one of the engines.
I found a similar actuator at the crash site of the C-45 at Mountain Pass.
These control cables still looked new after 59 years.
Back down at the tail. The left fin was still attached, but the rudder was gone.
Very little damage on the left fin.
Center section of the stab and tail end of the fuselage. No sign of the elevator at the site.
