Merry Christmas-Urbana B-17, back history notes-sorta

[jmkendall]

Merry Christmas! I thought I would share a few Pictures I have. The first are just a few images from a Wright Aeronautical Binder that have direct bearing on the Urbana B-17; or so I have been told. It is interesting to me that the engine being tested was originally planned for the B-52. The whole binder runs to around 100 pages and pictures. Lol, ok scratch that, apparently all my files are too big. By the way the binder deals with the engine and not the bomber. There is only one artist conception of what the bomber would look like. let me see if I can figure out how to re-size these!
