[ARC5] Video discussing the loss of the Lady Be Good.

[Tim]

I had read someplace that a USAF investigation crew flew into the desert
site some time after it was discovered.  They were in a C-47 that landed
nearby, turns out the C-47 had a radio failure.  They removed one of the
Command Set units from the B-24 (I forgot the specifics), plugged it into
the C-47 Comm rack and it worked.  Not surprising...
