SoCalSGT Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Rescued By Submarine - 1945 -Film Found 65 Years LaterTo find the film after 65 years is amazing enough, but for the plane to crash right near the sub.... heaven would have to have been looking out for those young men.Read the short note before viewing the clip.AN AMAZING STORY worth watching... About 2.5 minutes.An entire crew of a B-29 (12) was rescued by a US submarine after their plane was shot down in 1945, 70 miles off the coast of Japan. The entire rescue was filmed in color, but 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.It also shows their transfer to another submarine that is likely headed back to port before the one that accomplished the rescue.Can you imagine, 65 years AFTER your own rescue you get to watch it on film?http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid34762914001?bctid=672454611001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shel-b001 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Pretty awesome for someone that was apart of it to see his rescue after 55 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 That is wild. What are the chances they would bail out and land near a US sub that close to Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
