What aircraft did this canopy come from? This canopy was found near Wetumka, Oklahoma in a small creek running through my best friend's property. The canopy is about 12 feet long. Can anyone tell me what aircraft it came from, or who I could contact to ask?

A loving cup from 1906 dedicated to a Miss Grace Walling Spore from the USS Alliance Navy Ship was also found in same creek recently. I contacted the family myself and they knew nothing about the loving cup or any crashed plane that may have been carrying it.




Here is another picture... I do not know if was in a crash.



It could have washed down creek I suppose, but why would a jet canopy have been in a creek? I am searching for what kind of craft it belongs to.


Location: A creek in Wetumka, Oklahoma
Rumored date/pilot: 1944 / Loyde Christian
Object length: ~12 ft
This canopy probably came off a Boeing B-47.



I do know of at least two mishaps involving B-47s in Oklahoma but both occurred in places other than Wetumka.  I'll do a little more investigating on this.

Another possibility is that the previous landowners acquired this part as scrap at some point and left it there on their property for whatever reason.
