During World War II, from the autumn of 1942 through late 1945, the United States Navy conducted aircraft carrier qualification on Lake Michigan off of Chicago. The area had been selected to provide a safe area away from possible enemy submarine attack. As a result of mishaps, approximately 130 of the aircraft were lost in the lake. In the 1980’s a small team began surveying the southern basin of the lake to locate the lost aircraft. They were so successful that they became the primary contractor in a program under the direction of the management of the National Naval Aviation Museum, supported by the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, which rescued dozens of the aircraft. The aircraft, built and used by the men and women of the “Greatest Generation” to preserve the world’s freedom and liberty have been restored, placed in museums and airports across the nation, and can now be seen by the American public. Join Taras Lyssenko, General Manager of A and T Recovery as he presents his first hand account of this fantastic story.
I design lots of webinar graphics for the Military Aviation Museum and this one is for the upcoming March 27, 2021 presentation with Taras Lyssenko. Check out the MAM website to sign up for this and their weekly series.
