Lockheed P-38 Lightning back from dead ( 2 )

July 1942 two Boeing B-17 bombers were being escorted by six Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighters as they flew over Greenland towards Reykjavik, Iceland.
Disoriented by poor visibility, and a decision to return to base and abandone thier mission caused them to run out of fuel.
They had no choice but to crash-land on the icecap of Greenland.

The men were rescued later, but the aircraft left to thier Icy fate, became known as the lost squadron.

Fifty years later a rescue paarty of enthusiasts returne for the aircraft.

The Glacier Girl, the twin-engine P-38 “Lightning” fighter that was recovered from beneath the Greenland ice cap in 1992, is now fully restored and amazing audiences with her story wherever she goes.
