I remember an article that appeared in one of the Warbird mags a few years back, about a lake in Europe that was drained due to too many fishing nets getting caught in junk, and they found a ton of stuff that included a complete B-17!
But, this was after the war and nothing was worth saving, thus it was all scrapped.
Anyone remember this article?
Ah yes, the infamous Zuiderzeel
I had that issue too. I was about 10. All of the aircraft they found were fascinating. That stuff was only about 30 years old at the time. I'm sure those airframes were in much, much better condition than a lot of today's recoveries.
