That is one huge desert for something like that going noticed for 70 years. It makes you want to know what else is sitting out there to be found.

BbendFender Contributing Member ***** Texas Throw in a pick and you've got a deal!	May 12th, 2012 07:03 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic There was a missing B-24, the "Lady Be Good" but it was found many years ago. One of the props from the LBG was at the entrance to Wheeless AFB in Tripoli Lybia. I'm sure there were several planes that were missing. The Sahara is a big place and not many folks live in the mid and southern part of it.
EA6B Moderator In Memory Of... Brenden, Baby P, Karley & untold others!	May 12th, 2012 07:16 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Reminds me of a movie/TZ or something called Sole Survivor. This story is loosely based on the discovery of the B-24 "Liberator" bomber the "Lady Be Good" that was found in the Libyan desert after the crew got lost on their 1st bombing mission to Italy.

6L6 Contributing Member ********** *** Lago, CA Kick the tires, Light the fires!	May 13th, 2012 06:16 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Thanks for updating me on the "Lady Be Good". I didn't know they'd found her. 6
jobsworth Contributing Member *** NC	May 13th, 2012 08:53 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic There were other returning Liberator bombers based in Lybia who went missing: returning from a mission (hence fuel low), if they missed the coastal landing strip due to the blackouts they just rolled on South over the desert til they ran out of juice - sometimes not even realizing at night that they had even crossed the coast. South of the coastal strip in North Africa is nothing but a whole lot of sand and rock. You crash there with 110 degree daytime heat and you're about as close to 100% gone as anywhere on earth. Likely wouldn't last a couple of days. And the USAF / RAF would probably assume you'd been shot down over Germany so wouldn't even come looking for any wreckage. Tragic beyond belief... This kind of "disappearing into the wilderness" happens quite a bit in Australia too - same deal with a never-ending desert expanse.
Paul Boudreau Contributing Member ********** Washington, D.C. JH: It's not no game we're playing.	May 13th, 2012 05:01 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Remarkable. I wonder if the pilot's remains will ever be found? Who made the Kittyhawk P-40, by the way?
SS2 Contributing Member **** Alexandria, Virginia	May 13th, 2012 05:18 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic The Flight 19 was interesting reading... thanks for posting that. The Bermuda Triangle has always interested me... I've been on the fringes as a boat captain, there's some weird stuff goes on down there... watching your compass spin in circles makes you do a double look.
