Week 16 - World War II German bomber raised from sea

An World War II German bomber was founded in the sea of England. It was lifted by the English channel and transported to the English museum.

"It has been lifted and is now safely on the barge and in one piece," Ajay Srivastava, a spokesman for RAF Museum

The Royal Air Force shot down the Dornier Do-17 twin-engine medium bomer of the German Luftwaffe on August 26, 1940, during the battle of Britain. It was one of the bomber produced in Germany, according to the RAF Museum.

Germany sent more than 400 Dornier 17s during the battle of Britain, but 200 were lost. Mostly Dornier 17s were melted and destroyed. The plan tried to lend on the sands in the channel off Kent, and the plane sank upside down in about 50 feet of war. Two crews died  and the pilot and another crew who survived from the crash captured and sent in Canada, according to the RAF Museum.

I was amused with this event because I've never seen the aircraft that was founded down the ocean. It will give a lot of information to search of this aircraft and great opportunity to people who are interested.

This event is related to US history because we learned about the Royal Air Force who fought for British government. It displays how hard and difficult to survive during the World War II.

  2. Wow, I think reconizing the air force was difficult. If I were the one of people founding the air planes, I might think that was just a ship. I respect people who found these weapons that was used in past.

  6. That's interesting...I wonder how much time and money it took to build that bomber? I guess they built in in sea because it was more economical, but how much? GRACE

  9. As I read the article, I could remind myself of the WWII and Korean War. Every time that the things related to the war are found, it makes me sad, because it reminds me of war history that is destructive. I wish that kind of war never happen anymore.

  14. I'm definitely amused by ANY aircraft "founded"in the ocean. And here I thought planes were all about aerodynamics. But I suppose that fluids and mechanics course was useful in prototyping the design of an underwater plane. So how is a 1940s technology going to improve 2010s aircraft? And how did WWII cause the Great Depression? Something's causing depression here...
