Brilliant photos… the Dauntless coming out of Michigan looks like it got in there yesterday, amazingly intact. These shots prove the point: freshwater good, salt water bad (from the point of view of restoring to flying condition).

Edited because the forum naughty word finding system took exception to salt and water being one word, evidently it did not like the four letter word starting and ending with ‘t’ that occurs in the middle of it. Good thing I do not come from Scun*horpe!

this b-17g is planned to be recovered and restored to flying condiotion.
But the local authorities are not willing to give up this aircraft.
Instead they leave it to rot on the bottem of a lake as a national treasure:confused:

here some pictures of a tbd1 devestor
