Interesting post on PPRune today
"I recall when searching in 65 for a missing Mooney that had attempted to cross the cap, one of the aircraft "found" a B17 100 miles SE of Sondrestrom just sitting on the edge of the ice, resplendent in its US Army camouflage with guns in the turrets completely whole, like the B29 Ki- Bird. It happened to coincide with Arctic Aviation Week being run by Life magazine and Life managed to dig out the crew from all over the States and flew them back up there for a nostalgic look-see."
I wonder what became of it?
