P-47 supercharger in Southern Germany

At a reclamation and repair squadron in southern Germany, Pfc. Yale E. Goodman, left, and S/Sgt. Guy K. Kline, install a supercharger with the aid of a special lift which the former constructed out of salvaged P-47 armor plate and miscellaneous parts. Firmly secured to the frame of the lift, the 200-pound supercharger is raised and lowered by means of a dual-cabled sling which straddles the fuselage and is suspended from the boom of a shop truck. Time and manpower is saved through the use of this apparatus.
