Restoration: Lake Murray's Mitchell B-25C

摘要

At about 10:45 a.m. on April 4,1943, Bryce Lever was looking for fishing worms on the south shore of Lake Murray in South Carolina when he saw an airplane flying low, heading toward the water. Katherine Townsend Tapp, 23, was strolling on the lake's north shore when she saw the ailing aircraft, a B-25. She hurried to the home of Sewall Oliver, who had a speedboat that could be used in a rescue. Nearby, Martin Jones Jr., 10, also saw the aircraft descend; he yelled to his brother that one of the engines was out.
