That's funny .... but has been proven to be an Internet legend, last I heard!  But it makes a great story ... and certainly SOUNDS as if it could happen!

I figured as much but it could happen.  It was on a show called 1000 Ways to Die.  I think 90% of their stories are BS.

The Legend of the 82nd and 101st was forged on D-day and rest of the European Campaign.  Those young jumper are proud of their heritage.   I have been working on ideas for our patch and caps for the Invader Squadron.  I am not an artist, so I am justing writing down ideas instead on drawing stuff.

There great Airborne Museums at Fort Bragg, N C for the 82nd and Fort Campbell, Ky for the 101st.  The Corvette Museum  is in nearby Bowling Green, Ky.

Leo,   On 4-21,  Planes of Fame Museum in Chino will be hosting the EAA's B-17, "Aluminum Overcast".  The Museum is restoring the B-17 used in the TV show "Twelve O'Clock High",  "Picadilly Lilly" and they have the "Swamp Ghost" a B-17 wreckage recovered from New Guiena. It was shot down by the Japanese on it's first bombing mission.

I'm looking into it now Pop.  That is the day before my anniversary and it would be nice to make it.  Lil likes the planes too.  17s are close to her heart.

All the engine work was done at the maintence hangar at the CAF HQ at Midland, Tx.  Mr. Cavanaugh donated 3M to have the engines rebuilt in return,  "FIFI" and "Ol 927"(B-24A) will be hangared at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison,Tx. "FIFI" is the only flying B-29 in existence. The B-29 is the largest Warplane that can be owned privately.

I just read an article on Yahoo about a WW2 bomber was found upside down in 50 feet of water in the English Channel off the English coast. It is a Dornier 17 whcih carried a crew of 4. I was shot down in 1940, during the Battle Of Britain.  Folks are trying to raise money to recover the aircraft. There only about 1100 of these aircraft built.

I can almost guarantee there is someone out there with enough interest and money to bring her back to shore and fix her up.  At 50 feet I am surprised it took them this long to find and identify it.

nazi plane.  The RAF wants it for their museum so it will probably see day light again.  They were supposed to be bombers that could out maneuver fighters.  Guess they were wrong.
