This a story about a hotshot P-38 Lightning pilot flying in the Aleutians at 300 MPH and misjudged how close he was to the ground. Because of all of the snow, he mis-judgment his altitude and crashed into a snow drift. He bounced up and thinking he could fly his P-38 home on one engine, but when he looked, he discovered that one engine was gone and the prop was missing on the other. He than settled the P-38 aircraft in on a belly landing and jumped out of the aircraft believing it would burn, (which it did not). He was picked up by a boat that afternoon and the P-38 was left there for the next 40+ years. We are a small film-maker and we got permission to use the Photos to create this small documentary. The video came from us. I think you will enjoy the clip. Today, the P-38 is totally restored by a group of dedicated men. Thanks guys for all of your hard work!!! Runtime 5:42M |
