P-38 Hydraulic Fluid Tank - found item in Los Angeles, California. This tank is housed behind the pilot seat and was used by the hydraulic system when the emergency hydraulics were selected and the fluid was plumbed into the Cockpit Hand Pump so the pilot could hand crank the landing gear manually. This item was far beyond restoration - making it a great candidate to include in an art print - "Operation Vengeance".
