Winged Victory Episode 2: The Raising of a Helldiver
In this episode, hosts Rob Gale and Scott Klaers return to continue the story of the SB2C-1A Curtiss Helldiver. They are joined by two special guests: Lead docent Don Johnson, who recently gave a lecture on the aircraft (SB2C presentation - From Zero to Hero on YouTube @nationalwwiiaviation), and Matt McCauley, the man, along with some friend, who actually recovered the aircraft from Lake Washington in the 1980's.
The discussion delves into the incredible story of the Helldiver's discovery by the teenagers, the challenging recovery process, and it's remarkable journey from lakebed to its eventual restoration and first flight!
