There are few scenes quite so evocative as the vision of a once
mighty warbird resting silently in its watery grave, a tranquil
underwater world so alien to the world that it was created to
fly and fight in. Far removed from the hostile skies of Europe
and the long hours of tension, cold and extreme danger endured
by its crew, this potent warrior now lies peacefully, its guns
silent and quiet forever in the shallow waters of the Mediterranean
where it came to rest so many years ago. This is without doubt
an extraordinary and moving tribute to those young airmen of
the USAAF. |
