Right, but this is what they were trying to get away from as cutting the plane up like sliced bread they thought would be neater and faster allowing less bent metal to pick through for salvage.

Several different ideas were tossed around from pneumatic cutters to a big band saw on tracks. Guess they decided to stick with the blade and crane.

yes crude but fast, they use it to cut the tail and wings off the b 52's dont want them fling around you neighborhood
 
yes they tried it out on old chevys with good results so they carried it on to old planes::::::: tongue in cheek::: guys
 
My uncle was a designer on the B52

during the 1950's. It is a good thing he is not around today to see the salvage operations. The B52 was his life work.

Yes and some of the guys on this site are probably using it on their Fords ( for a quick roof chop etc)!
