Interesting Warbird documentary

[Mr70]

Last Night PBS aired a good story on NOVA about the WWII bombing mission off Attu Island on the Kuril Islands of Japan.
USA sent 5 PV-1 Venturas to bomb those islands and draw Japanese troops northward away from the action.
On March 25,1944 Ventura Bomber #31 took off and was never heard from again,until 1999 when some one sent pix to the US embassy in Russia showing the wreckage.
They sent a investigation Team,and discovered the wreckage was indeed Ventura #31,and the crews remains.
After all was deciphered thay determined the crew caught enemy fire and had to crash land before their Bombing mission was complete.Most of the crew was injured,and all parished soon after from the freezing cold in Siberia,and the Vast amount of brown Bears in that area.
They finally brought back what remains they found to the Families,and put an end to this mystery. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
