I find it hard to believe that a boats fishing nets could pull a B17 Flying Fortress up off the sea bed. Never mind one laded down with Gold!. Talk about the proverbial one that got away! lol

That’s what I though, the weight would have pulled the boat under rather than lifting the plane. If and a big if it had happened as discribed how did he get the 0.50 cal out the rear turret?

Aren’t they removed from inside the plane?
