Yeah, just checked out the reduction gear. R-1820, easier to pin down than I thought.

It’s a B17 prop, but it’s not possible to tie it to a particular aircraft i’m afraid

Hi! To clarify, then.. you need to know where to find a serial number that identifies the individual aircraft? That won’t happen, I’m afraid.. or do you know the aircraft – was ‘B-17’ from prop blade profile and diameter, or is this a known wreck?
If you need ident on the assembly to confirm aircraft type then the best method i know is to take it apart, check the blade roots for type ident stamps. Blades were more type-specific than hubs.
I am sure someone with more knowledge than me can identify engine type from the gubbins around the shaft.
