04/14/2005. Remarks by Philo
Lund: "The story of Glacier Girl is fascinating, spanning
60 years beginning with the loss of six P-38s and two B-17s on the
Greenland icecap and subsequent recovery of the crews, continuing
with the much later search for and evaluation of the wrecks in deep
ice, and ending with the recovery, restoration and flight of the
least damaged machine. Now the Glacier Girl operates out of a hangar
built especially for her at Bell County Airport in Middlesboro,
owned by The
Lost Squadron Museum. |
