[Milsurplus] Rescue from Shangri-La video (youtube)

[Brian Harrison]

All,

My neighbor loaned me the book “Lost in Shangri-La”, and it was a good read.
It’s the story of the three survivors of a C-47 that crashes May 1945 in (Dutch) New Guinea
(one of over 600 aircraft lost over New Guinea during WWII supposedly)

The documentary made during the rescue is on youtube:

There are a couple of scenes of BC-611s in use
also a Waco glider being snatched off the ground by a C-47

Enjoy,

brian
