World War II plane found in San Diego by Zivka Deleva

Dive bomber from the World War II has been found below the surface of a San Diego lake. Navy divers appoint that the bomber dates from May 28, 1945 when its engine failed in a training exercise. The invention came thanks to a fisherman, that found the airlplane 85 feet below the surface of the reservoir. Now, 65 years after the crash, the plane named SB2C Helldiver is been salved slowly and cleaned from the mud. The public can't enter the Lower Otay Reservoir while the salvage operation lasts. At that time, the pilot made it to safe his life and swam safely to the shore. Experts are going to estimate whether it is possible for the plane to be restored and if it is, the Na! tional Naval Aviation Museum will gladly put it in its collection where it is missing. That would be a big contribution for the history of the naval aviation in the United States of America. I mean, you know Americans, they are the people that can create a news out of everything. This Museum has at least 150 planes in its collection. "We've been looking for a Helldiver for quite some time. At the end of the war, they were obsolete and so they just chopped them down, melted them and made most of them into tin cans. It wasn't a particularly good airplane" - Navy Capt. Ed Ellis said. This type of plane was pretty tough to be handled and with every reason it was named "Beast". Ever since it was prototype, the plane showed problems.
