The story of a b17f called the meltin' pot (from wreck to rescue and recovery) is just out. The plane was discovered in Lough foyle ireland. It went down in 1942 and the crew were rescued by a teenager and her mom who sailed out into dangerous waters. Curt melton was the captain and saved the crew by landing with no engines similar to the hudson bay landing. In 2004 he came to ireland and thanked the girl now 85. Curt passed away last year the last of the crew. Amazon has a great review of it.
