The Swamp Ghost

The soldiers knew it was an aircraft, but what kind of aircraft was it? As it turns out, this was the Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress that went missing in 1942. Since its discovery, it has now been nicknamed the Swamp Ghost.

Through the years, this aircraft came to be known as a legend in military aviation history. According to aviation archaeologist Fred Hagen, “It was widely considered that it was impossible to salvage this aeroplane.”
