Lady Be Good was made into a film (based on): Sole Survivor. Worth a watch

Crash landing in the desert is horrifying. At sea you might see a boat or a plane. In the middle of the desert chance of rescue is near 0

There was a movie starring William Shatner, "Sole Survivor" 1970 based loosely off the Lady Be Good, it was interesting.
clevermotherfucker
Also an episode of Twilight Zone based on her.
Luxomancer
Yeah forgot about that one!

Did you know there are more planes under the sea than there are submarines in the sky?
clevermotherfucker
Did you know there are more submarines on land than airplanes in my posession?
CaptRackham
Did you know the Russians tried to invent a flying submarine

FUN FACT: there are more planes in the bottom of the sea than submarines in the sky. Let that sink in...

The RAF Shackelton isn't a WWII wreck. The Shackleton's first flight was in 1949. The particular Shackleton in the picture was from the 1/2

South African Air Force. It made a forced landing in the Sahara after 2 of it's engines failed in flight, all crew survived. 2/3

There's a documentary about it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCemSU7kAdc 3/3
