B-17 engine assemble video

[Matt Jaques]

Wondered if this would be useful for those building or detailing the Wright R-1820 engines of the B-17E, F, Gs. (Really helpful if you find interpreting still-photos and schematics to be difficult!)

It's from Periscope Film on YouTube, and is 20min long: 

 

It's a training video for mechanics, in black and white.  

(Interesting too: eg near the start, an engine is unwrapped from thick, clear plastic - didn't realise that was happening then.)

Thanks Matt, absolutely fascinating. By the way welcome to the friendliest and laid back forum around. Does this mean you’re build a 17 ?........

That was pretty cool............... thanks Matt, and welcome..............

Thanks  : )

 First, I'll be getting - and building!- a Lanc (WNW Dambuster, I hope)   : )

But oh yes, then I'd like a large B-17F.
