Some engines go missing, some parts go missing !

And what a horrible thing, any lives lost in these air crashes.

same crash site, engine at 8:10
other engine at 10:36 That looks like a 2 row Wright engine ? No it must be that the crank and rods came out from impact, so must be an R-1820.

At 7:57 we see how well an aluminum crankcase weathers.
R-2800-CB16 is what a Martin 404 is suppose to use.
