66 years later
Can you imagine after 66 years discovering this??
Film found of WW ll B-29 crew rescued by Submarine
First, read the text before watching thefilm.
This is well worth watching, about 2.5 mins !!!!!!
An entire crew of a B-29 (12 aviators) was
rescued by aUS submarine after their plane was shot down in 1945, 70 miles off the coast of Japan . The entire rescue was filmed in color, but then sat in a guy's closet until now.
This is a story from a Denver TV station, of one of those rescued aviators to whom the video was delivered. It also shows their transfer to another submarine
that is likely headed back to port before the one that accomplished the rescue.
Can you imagine 65 yrs AFTER your rescue, you get
to watch it on film !!!!!!
