Description
The engine that powered the "Flying Fortress."
Vintage B-17 "Wright Cyclone" Engine Coffee Table. An
original Wright R-1820-97 "Cyclone" turbosupercharged radial engine
that has been converted into an approximately 63" x 43" glass top
table. The B-17, which was often referred to as the "Flying
Fortress", had four of these engines which gave it the power and
redundancy needed for long-range missions. The B-17 was widely used
in World War II and typically carried a crew of ten members: pilot,
co-pilot, bombardier, navigator, flight engineer/top turret gunner,
radio operator, and four additional gunners. The table top is where
the propellor would have been and is supported by six attached
metal posts. A unique opportunity to obtain an engine that powered
one of the most iconic aircraft from World War II, remembered for
its rugged resilience and its key role in the Allied strategic
bombing campaign. Has been painted and refurbished for display.
Would be a great additon to any office, game room, and any aviation
collection. Some paint loss to base of the shaft and scratches to
base of table. Displays very well, fine. Custom shipping will be
required.
