Cool! Heck of a thing though to know you survived the crash but won’t survive much longer. I hope they find the pilot, he cannot be far away.

Google Lady Be Good. It was a B24 that was lost in Libya in 1944+-. Wasn’t found until 1958. Crew members that survived the bailout tried to walk back to civilization across the Sahara.

The log of one member outlined their 100 mile walk before they died, one by one.

A haunting story.

Some of the crew of the Lady Be Good made it 80 miles.
