The aircraft in question was a P-38....lightning ("Glacier Girl"), from the
"Lost Squadron".
Use that title to look up on line. I watched a video of the plane they
recovered.

Subject: [MV] B-17 History ?

Matbe there is a better list to ask but since I belong to thos one, here
goes. I had heard a story a few years back, maybe more, about a group
locating 5 B-17s under a bunch of ice in maybe Greenland. Probably an urban
legend but the tale was told of the group core drilling down to the
aircraft,
dissassembling them, raising them and flying them off the ice. Can anybody
confirm or deny if there is any thuth to this? Anybody have any documented
stories about any kind of incredible finds like this? Can't pass up a
ressurection story!
