Film Found of B-29 Crash and Crew Rescue by Submarine
Thought some of you might enjoy this...The first link below is a very interesting news story worth watching...about 2.5 mins. It describes how an entire crew of a B-29 bomber (12 aviators) was rescued by a US submarine after their plane was shot down in 1945, 70 miles off the coast of Japan. The entire crash and rescue was filmed in color video but then sat in a guy's closet ... until now. This story is from a Denver TV station about one of those rescued aviators to whom the video was delivered.
The second link shows the entire video ... just over 8 mins ... crash, rescue, and the crew's transfer to another submarine that is likely headed back to port before the one that accomplished the rescue."
Can you imagine?? Receiving a video 65 yrs AFTER your rescue and you get to see it on film?!?! WOW!!!
