[ARC5] Aircraft Recovery- Lake Michigan

[Robert Eleazer]

Up at the Valiant Air Command museum at Titusville they have an FM-1 Wildcat that was recovered from Lake Michigan and restored.

I recall seeing an article in the EAA magazine about an F4F that was recovered from the lake and restored to flying condition.  I was most amused to see a picture of one of the radio tubes, intact but full of water.
