26 sad images of WWII Airplane graveyards & storage sites



These are very sad images of, now priceless, warbirds that were left to rot outside to be recycled later.


During and after WWII crash landed and unrecoverable airplanes were cast aside on massive airplane piles and left for another day when there would be time to recycle them. As the war progressed wrecked enemy airfields also fell into Allied hands, with destroyed airplanes of course.

Hundreds of surplus World War II airplanes sit in rows at an airplane cemetery in Walnut Ridge, AR on December 5, 1948. Some of the planes were flown in straight from the factory, cut into pieces and melted down. The planes were mostly B25’s and B26’s [Via]

B-24 ‘Lady Be Good’ – Crashed on it’s first and last mission in 1943, discovered in 1958


http://www.warhistoryonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/‘Lady-Be-Good’-–-a-tale-of-courage-and-resilience-from-the-Second-World-War-640x434.jpg
The wreckage of a USAAF (United States Army Air Forces) plane that went missing during its first and last mission in the Second World War was discovered in a North African desert. In early November 1958, an oil exploration team from Britain was flying over the Libyan desert, when they unexpectedly spotted the wreckage of a plane in the middle of the desert.
A ground team was quickly dispatched to the crash site in order to investigate the wreckage. It was later revealed that it was the wreckage of a ‘B-24D Liberator’ from the Second World War, also known as the ‘Lady Be Good’. The plane flew for the first time on a bombing mission in Italy in 1943 and lost radio contact shortly after entering a sandstorm.

The USAAF launched a search and ultimately concluded that the plane had crashed into the Mediterranean Sea, after experiencing a malfunction or possibly disorientation. The ground search team that approached the plane started looking into its condition. To everyone’s astonishment, ‘Lady Be Good’ was in surprisingly good condition; its radio was in working condition, along with one of the engines and a 50-calibre machine gun, which could still fire. There were water containers still intact inside the plane. There were no signs of the remains of the crew who were on board ‘Lady Be Good’.
