    Hi Holdy,
    It is hard to tell how big the pieces are and the thumbnail photos don't open much bigger than the thumbnails themselves.
    A few interesting things are that the 2nd photo appears to show an American star insignia with a red circle around it. That might help date the aircraft. I do recall some B-26's flying with that type of marking, but I can't say it would have been the only type of plane.
    How large is that insignia?
    Also the one in the middle of your group that says "DISCONNECT WIRING BEFORE ____ ING WING TH___" may be helpful.
    The piece that is somewhat rounded in shape with a small window or navigation light hole, should also be helpful.

    John
