In 1943, this plane failed to return to base in Soluch after the
bombing raids on Naples, Italy, and many feared that it had crashed into the Mediterranean.
Soon after, its 9 member crew was listed as MIA. However, just 16 years later,
the plane was miraculously discovered in a Libyan desert alongside eight
bodies. The plane had surprisingly been well preserved the desert environment.
