...... BOEING B-29 FLAP INDICATOR ....Large 3 and 1/8" face diameter indicator model 8DJ17 sat prominently on the left side of the co-pilot's instrument panel (so the Captain could keep tabs on it too!) electrically indicated the degree angle of wing-flaps selected on the mighty 'SuperFort' ...many will agree this was the single most feared weapon of WWII when teamed up with its nuclear bombload.........own a piece of this mighty bomber ...have a few available all in very good condition......$55each ****Whats that white mark at the bottom of the glass? - its called a 'witness line' and was used whenever an instrument had markings painted on the glass, such as B-29 flap indicators usually were.....if the glass became loose and rotated in the case, and the redline moved, the pilots would (hopefully) see it before they tried to 'drop the flaps at 300 mph, ripping them off the wings!**** |
