Northrop N-3 PB wreck discovered
« on: August 30, 2002, 04:45:40 AM »
Hello there Forum.
Just two days ago this wreck was discovered only a few hundred yards of the shoreline of Reykjavik. I remember that some twenty years ago another wreck was dug out of a muddy riverbed and rebuilt, now in museum somewhere.
This aircraft is a rare one, and all information about it as well as pictures would be appreciated

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
