Quite the operation. I wonder, after doing the 1st one, just how fast a group of mechanics could put a plane together?
All the air pumping for the landing gear, I would find, borrow,beg, steal,purchase, or otherwise acquire a compressor

All that engineering and common sense in one place and not a computer to be found. Better days.. I wonder how many of those cases are at the bottom of the Atlantic, victims of U-boats.

THANKS !

I've watched it (at least in the background as I did paperwork)........ WOW ! ! !

Wouldn't it be great to find a few of them still in the crates?

I was just thinking that my old fond daydream to find the apocryphal "jeep in a crate" has now been upgraded to "jug in two crates." It's interesting that they have the field un-crate instructions for the jug, which was arguably the highest-tech recip fighter of WWII with its dual-stage turbos. There were a lot of less-exotic (and smaller, and lighter) airplanes that would have been much easier to field-assemble.

I bet they did all of them that way. My dad told me a story of the frist F86 his unit got in Korea. The line cheif started cussing about them forgetting to put the prop in the crate.
