The Vultee fighter is interesting to me even if it wasn't too successful. A lot of people (myself included) have wondered over the years if there are Vanguard parts still in China. Good subject, No.1!

Yes, you're right about the Chinese having some treasures. Here in the U.S. many mouths have watered over the P-61 and P-47. My personal favorites are the two Tu-4s that were converted to turboprop power by the Chinese. Then there are the Soviet designs, Chinese-built machines......the list goes on!  :-cool

I've already begun the LLL Recovery program, Matt! (I've sent you a PM, by the way.)

Vultee P-66 Vanguard

This is the remains of the P-66s little brother, a BT-13. It's now part of a museum I'm a member of in southwestern Nebraska. This airframe was destroyed in a tornado in the early sixties and we've got the remains for a possible static display someday.

Looking forward to your progress, No.1!
