Sixty-five years after an American P-38 fighter plane ran out of gas and crash-landed on a beach in Wales, the long-forgotten World War II relic has emerged from the surf and sand where it lay buried.

There's a few of them down their but they're owned by the Navy. Got a family member in one of those. He was an instructor at Great Lakes and had taken up a friend who was a flight surgeon so the doc could log enough hours to get his flight pay. There was a mid-air with a pilot trainee in 1947. No recovery was made.
