The one that really gets to me was the P38 dug out from very deep vertical ice tunnels in Greenland i think, brought out piece by piece from guns to wings.
The P51 has always been my favorite plane. I love seeing it at Air Shows leading the pack.
Sometime in the late ‘80’s I was hunting in France and came across a WW II German plane in the edge of the woods adjacent to a cornfield. It was covered with briers and scrub, nose down and tail in the air. It was evident that the farmer had left it undisturbed all those years because the corn rows made a bend around the location of the plane.Don’t remember the model, but it was a fighter.
