WWII Airplanes

There is a WWII B-29 bomber sunck in about 15 feet of water up on Eilson AFB, Alaska. Its a dive site called "Lady of the lake".

15 feet? Is that enough to even cover it?

I would imagine the English channel has plenty of WWII planes

Hi Sam.
This was the first post :

I am looking for some good dive sites that have WWII airplane wreckage. Mostly I am looking for sites in Europe and North Africa, nothing any the pacific theatre. I am researching the sites for a potential documentary series.

Hi,

There is a wreck of a Dornier DO-24 near the airport of Kristiansand (Kjevik) in Norway and Junkers JU-52 in a lake approx. 1 hour north of Narvik. And there a some more WWII planes in norwegian waters.

Here in Rostock we have the remains of a Lancaster - unfortunately only some metal plates and pieces of the landing gear.

Lake Murray, SC has pieces of several B-25s on the bottom....they raised one several months ago.

Does anyone know any of the background stories to any of the plane mentioned or even a serial number so that I could do more research?

I'd like to have the full stories of at least 2 planes that I could also dive.

Thanks
you guys rock!
