Sad news indeed: Liberty Belle was a true symbol and it will be impossible to recover it after such a fire damage ((

At least no one was hurt. There may be some stuff they can salvage. Center section is completley toast though

Such a shame when there are setbacks like this.

surprising that they didn't have or use a fire extinguisher system installed (radial engines normally come with a CO2 bottle which charge is released in the carb and exhausts to starve the flames) or that they didn't try an emergency landing back at the airport, since it was just one engine fire.

Oh well, too late for speculation, another beauty is lost

US Liberty Bell crashed and burned! Sounds as something from the economy pages today.

But seriusly if we continue to fly the relics they will all be gone in a few years as the are not up to standards and will fail in one way or other sooner or later.
Keep them on the ground.
