Summary
| Description |
English: During WWII Lake Michigan was home to a Navy Aircraft Carrier training program, with two converted sidewheel steamers as carriers. During training, many aircraft had the inevitable accidents. These wrecks remained on the bottom of Lake Michigan for decades. Starting in the 1980’s the history of these wrecks began to circulate. Soon a mini-treasure hunt was on – One of these wrecks could bring as much as $100,000 for the parts alone. Some were salvaged legally, others not. I was involved in a NAVY sponsored salvage operation in the early 1990’s - the goal was to provide an acceptable warbird for the Palm Springs Air Museum. We salvaged this SBD-5 Dauntless (BuNo 36176) dive bomber from 110 feet. |
