After 60 yrs ... Bell Aircobra found intact!
Did you know the Gals that built these wrote their names and addresses on the planes bulkheads?
This is very interesting. Have the sound on.

Very cool. One of my favorite warbirds. An amazing bit of engineering to build a plane around a cannon insted of an engine!
Blessed are the curious, for they shall have great adventures!
