Gents,

I searched the forum to see if anyone else had posted this story but couldn't find anything. I'm surprised I missed this one when they originally aired it on the local news back on Nov 11.

"An entire crew of a B-29 (12 aviators) was rescued by a US submarine after their plane was shot down in 1944/5 70 miles off t he coast of Japan . The entire rescue was filmed in color video but then sat in a guy's closet until now. This is a story from a Denver TV station of one of those rescued aviators to whom the video was delivered."
