B-29 Frozen in Time doc


Recommended Posts


Dunno if it was on Sky mate l just came across it on YouTube. It was sad how the engineer died after overworking on the project, he really put his heart and soul into recovering her. The exhilaration and excitement of thinking you will actually get to watch the plane fly after 50 or so years only to watch her catch fire and get consumed was a bit of an emotional ride especially when you don't expect it but it was a cracking documentary. Another of my favourite documentaries is the one with the recovery of Glacier Girl, a P-38 Lightning from under a glacier in Greenland but can't find it on-line anywhere.

 

cheers Callum
