Junkers JU-52 rescued in Greece!

During the siege of the island of LEROS by the German in 1943 the war plane was hit by antiaircraft gun from the ANGO-ITALIAN FORCES near the coast of the island. Since then it was on the bottom of Aegean sea for well over 60 years when local divers with the help of the war museum of Greek Airforce uncovered it again.

We are talking about "old" planes, and if this article is new to some, like myself, then it deserves to be brought up.
