Reminds me of the story an old crop duster friend told me. They used Ford Tri-motors for Crop dusting the forests for the forest service. En route to his local airfield the outboard engine broke a prop. Before he could shut it down the engine broke loose from the mounts and fell off.
When he told me this I had the mental picture of the classified add. "LOST: one radial aircraft engine in the vicinity of..." Then next picture that came to mind was my friend standing in someone's living room saying "Nope, not my engine"
The actual story was they went and picked the engine up out of a plowed field.
