After over 50 years on the seabed, the cockpit of a USAAF Liberator was still remarkably complete and salvaged in 1995. Built in December 1942 at San Diego, this USAAF Liberator was attacked over Romania on 1 August 1943. Badly damaged, the crew headed for their base at Benghazi in Libya but one by one the engines failed and the aircraft ditched in the sea off Antalya (Turkey).
