Re: American Miscellaneous
1- Wreck of the US Liberator 'Lady be Good' in the Nth African desert 380 miles south of Tobruk.
It took off from the Benghazi area in 1943 to bomb Naples at night but overshot on the way back due to navigation error, and the crew bailed when fuel ran out, thinking they were still over the Mediterranean.
Realising their mistake, they began walking north but died of thirst and hunger, all but one of their bodies were recovered after the war..
