P-47 loss Austria ?
All

Does anyone have any info on the ditching of a P-47 on 8 May 1945 in the Traunsee, Austria. Pilot got out.

TIA
Dave

Re: P-47 loss Austria ?
The Sandy Air Corporation tries to rescue the P-47 from the Traunsee this week on behalf of the D-Day Museum New Orleans.

I suppose as soon as they have the P-47 ( it is supposed in 100 to 120 meter depth ) the media will start a frenzy.
The pilot is in a hotel close by, but he is totally shielded at the moment.

This is all I know at the moment.

Definetelly a most wonderful time capsule. I would love to be wrong but I am afraid some idiots will put it into a 'factory fresh' condition. Eh.
