The B-24 "Lady Be Good" crashsite


The B-24D Liberator "Lady Be Good" crashed here on the night of April 4 to 5. The crew bailed out shortly before the crash, only to wander in the desert for several days to their deaths.

The wreck was not discovered until 1959 and the remains of the crew were found only in 1960. Today the remains of the plane rest in Tobruk (Tubruq) ( www.wikimapia.org/#lat=32.085629&lon=23.968906&z=13&l=5... ).
