"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.

Glad to see the past aircraft! It would be a lot helpful to improving the new weapons
답글삭제Wow, 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.
답글삭제It is the aircraft economy!
답글삭제It is interesting to read the article about what we learned during history class. The German bomber still has some marks of the war.
답글삭제I hope people don't make deadly weapons like the ones used in WW2.
답글삭제Wow!! We are learning about WWII and we found the aircraft that was used at that time!! It is really interesting.
답글삭제That'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
답글삭제wow it is interesting that article is founded under the ocean. i hope it will help to figure out a lot of events more.
답글삭제It is really interesting and amazing how they found those aircraft in the deep ocean! I think it would help many historians to gain more evidences and knowlege about the culture and lives during back in World War II
답글삭제As 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.
답글삭제WOW it is interesting... many researchers can study more about the World War II hahaha
답글삭제You were amused???ha???
답글삭제Don't get how the material that symbolizes sacrifice of the people turned out to be amusing.
It's very interesting to know about world war II. There are many propaganda and yellow journalism, we cannot really know what's going on.
답글삭제The impact is very economic. The world war II was causing a kind of great depression
답글삭제I'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...
