Oshkosh Wisconsin it the location for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) airshow. They claim to be the "Busiest Airport in the World" on that week, and I have no doubt they are. It's a great show. It lastes a week, and it takes several days just to walk around to see everything. It also has a big selection of warbirds.
Several years ago, there was a C47 with skiis at the show. I checked it out, and it was all about the Greenland expedition. They had a top turret of a B17 they recoverd from the lost group of aircraft. The B17 was crushed, so the plan was to go after one of the P38's the next year. The next year, they had a boot in the Flymart with all the parts of the P38 on display, with pictures of how they recoverd the aircraft.
The parts were mostly in great shape. I rember the names and some hand drawings on the parts that were not exposed when the aircraft was assembled. They must have been put there by the people who assembled the aircraft when it was built.
