Thanks. That AC was all metal. As a matter of information, there were
some large caliber bullet holes visible in the less damaged left wing. It
crashed just above the 38th in the mountains NE of Yanggu. And, from the
condition of the AC -- grass & brush had grown up around it -- and remains
of the pilot, looked like it went down very early in the war.
