Lost Bomber Found in Sahara Desert!

Great telling of the story of the Lady Be Good. Lt Hatton grew up in Whitestone, NY, just one town over from where I live. His boyhood home is still there. Well done.

The way the propellor tips were bent indicates that the engines were still turning. So they were not completely out of fuel.

Sorry, I didnt cover this in the video but when they recovered Toner's diary, he wrote that "Things pretty well mixed up- Got lost returning. out of gas, jumped. landed in desert at 2 in morning, no one badly hurt, can't find John, all others present." The propellers may not have feathered so they continued to spin (windmilling) as they moved through the air. www.ladybegood.net/diaries/

They could be simply turning due to air friction causing the propellors to free spin,

I think she was recovered by the Libyan government and sits on trailers stored who knows where. With the Mid East hostilities, I doubt we will ever see her come home.
