ORIGINAL WWII BELL P-39 AIRACOBRA CRASH-SITE ARTIFACT GROUPING – RICE ARMY AIR FIELD
Offered is an exceptional grouping of original WWII Bell Aircraft P-39 Airacobra components recovered from a documented crash site in the vicinity of the former Rice Army Air Field.
This unusual grouping consists of several original components associated with the P-39's forward armament installation and represents the type of specialized hardware used in the aircraft's internal weapons system.
The grouping includes:
- Original Bell Aircraft fume-tight boot assembly associated with the twin fuselage-mounted gun installation.
- Two extremely rare original Bell Aircraft pins associated with the ammunition feed-chute assembly for the twin fuselage-mounted guns.
- Two original components from the P-39's large-caliber automatic cannon installation.
These are genuine WWII-era aircraft components, not modern reproductions. The pieces exhibit the characteristics of original aircraft hardware and retain the wear, oxidation, and surface characteristics expected of components recovered from a WWII crash site.
The historical significance of this grouping is enhanced by its crash-site provenance and association with the Bell P-39 Airacobra, one of the most distinctive American fighter aircraft of WWII.
A very unusual opportunity for the serious WWII aviation collector, P-39 researcher, or collector of original Bell Aircraft artifacts.
IMPORTANT: These are non-functional historical artifacts/components recovered from a WWII aircraft crash site and are being offered strictly as collectible historical material.
