Freshwater recoveries in the US?

Posted by Rob Mears on Sun May 18, 2003 03:29:10 PM

I was trying to tally up all of the fresh water reocveries made in the US to date. Here is a list of the planes I remember:

FG-1D Corsair (2) - Lake Washington
B-25 Mitchell (1) - Lake Greenwood
P-47 Thunderbolt (1) - ? (*somewhere in Florida I believe)
F4F Wildcat (?) - Lake Michigan
SBD Dauntless (?) - Lake Michigan


Can anyone add to this list? Also, does anyone know of any interesting freshwater finds that are recoverable that have yet to be acted upon?

I can think of the two B-29's - the one previously discussed in Arizona (Lake Havasu?) I believe, and the other in Alaska. Any others?
