I remember reading about a Liberator that was p
: ulled out of the water around Turkey a few years ago. Was
: it from the Ploesti raid?
That would be "Hadley's Harem". Yes, it was an Aug. 1st participant. I'm away from my library at the moment, but I'm pretty sure the cockpit section sits in a museum in Istanbul. I believe this is also the only known Liberator remains from that mission (but always glad to be proven wrong :o))
The Dugan book is one of my all-time favorites also.
Best wishes,
