WW2 surplus Allison engines ad

[onetrack]

I wonder just how many surplus Allison V-1710's there were at the end of WW2? Wouldn't it have been good to have been around then, with some spare cash?

I've seen new ones with a big bar/spike driven through the middle of them The sellers obviously didn't want them to be used.  Nev

I worked at a foundry , making aluminum ingots .

All those aircfaft & parts , that we wish for now had Almost no value.

No-one wanted that ' junk  ' Then , we desperately needed FOOD .

Brand new aircraft, never assembled, crate included,  fed into furnaces. 

Also Harley  & Indian motorbikes in crates went the same way.

As well as hundreds of used odnance came by truck and rail.

Sometimes we had the chance to go get it ourselves, seeing those Vast airfields & hangers full of ' everything ',

  That, We Want today ! .
