That's amazing stuff. Thanks for all the help everyone. <S>
Fugi, If we only could predict the future with these things. I never knew that I would be talking about that fuel tank almost 70 years after it was dropped. My grandfather still has two brothers alive that live in the area. I can talk with them and ask if they remember when this incident occurred. I'm not sure of the exact year this happened thought. The toughest challenge is going to be digging thorough old microfilm at the Southbridge library to see if the incident was reported. With so much happening during the war years, this won't be easy. If you know of somebody to ask, go right ahead. You know where to find me.
As far at the tanks future, I know it won't be going to some scrapper for 50 dollars. It's too banged up to be restored. The big dent was caused when it impacted. So, maybe cleaning it up and hanging it in my basement might be a possibility. The wife would kill me, so I may be put in the basement too. Might as well have something to keep me company.
Once again, thanks everyone for the leads. I'll post again when I find out more.
