UFO's- we've seen hundreds of them, and have piles of them in our not so secret storage facilities. And the government is not trying to get us to cover them up.
WELCOME TO OUR LOST AND FOUND DEPARTMENT!
Years ago, the identity of these parts was lost. Today, you could help us find it again... and maybe get a warbird in the air...
IT'S A GOOD DEAL FOR YOU!
Here's the deal. Below are thumbnail photos of WWII era parts we have acquired. Click on the photo for a larger picture. We have ideas on what the items are, but can't positively identify them to any specific types of aircraft. If you happen to know what they are, and your ID can be confirmed, we will give you a "UFO Premium" discount on any parts for sale in our shop. For each part you identify, you get a 10% discount on any single part listed on our site (including the part you identify, if you so desire). We ask that your identification be confirmed in one or more of the following ways:
1. Views of the part and listing in a Technical Manual or Technical Order. A scan sent to our email address will work, but you can mail us a photocopy if scanning equipment is not available.
2. Period photographs of the part on an aircraft.
3. A letter from a noted authority who specializes in the subject type of aircraft.
So dive in, Sarge- the shipment is in from the depot, but the yellow tags all blew off when the re-supply crashed! The Old Man wants 'em hangin' on airframes by tomorrow's mission. Enjoy, and...
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
