Crashlanded? Soon rescued?[edit]

According to the first reference, the aircraft was forced to land but the pilot made an excellent belly-landing.

The statement that "the crew were soon rescued" does not come within 100 miles of doing justice to the quite remarkable story of the rescue in the second reference. Wanderer57 (talk) 19:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is very brief. Anyone can expand it. Snowman (talk) 20:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I changed crash landing to forced landing based on wording in the reference and on a discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Language/2011_July_16

Recovery[edit]

The recovery is described briefly in "Hunting Warbirds", by Carl Hoffman. I'm too busy with another project to update this page, though. Noel (talk) 01:13, 24 June 2012 (UTC) The article has recently been upgraded, including more description of the recovery. Nolabob (talk) 14:53, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
