Interesting story.
After 60 years, a Bell P-39 Airacobra was found intact in Russia with a Harrison Radiator in it.
Did you know that the girls who built these planes wrote their names and addresses on the plane's bulkheads?
They're still there!

There is an 8 page article in my Sept issue of Smithsonian Air and Space magazine about this aircraft.
The article tells much more about the combat record and pilot that died in the plane.
An interesting story and you can read the article here:
