Olham Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 "THE VINTAGE AVIATOR" have restored a Mercedes D.IIIa engine. They found an interesting repair - either a field modification, or done at an Armee-Flugpark - the black bracing in this photo. I wonder what happened to the original. Was it shot away, or did it break in a crash landing? However - this repair shows the craftsmanship, that made a broken engine installable again. http://thevintageaviator.co.nz/projects/mercedes-engine/mercedes-engine-restoration Quote
Hasse Wind Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I've read that article before. It's wonderful that such an old engine has been preserved for so long in relatively good condition. Quote
