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.<a href="http://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/lady-be-good-crashed-on-its-first-and-last-mission-in-1943-discovered-in-1958.html/attachment/consolidated-b-24d-lady-be-good"><img src="http://www.warhistoryonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/0000050606-F-1234P-014-640x424.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>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’.<a href="http://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/lady-be-good-crashed-on-its-first-and-last-mission-in-1943-discovered-in-1958.html/attachment/consolidated-b-24d-lady-be-good-2"><img src="http://www.warhistoryonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Lady_Be_Good_Wreckage_Discovery-640x416.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>The wreckage of the Lady Be Good in 1958.
