Salvage of B-24H s/n 42-7638 "Big Banner"

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Moving documentary of the recovery of crashed aircraft and the MIA aircrew. This has been ongoing work since decades, in an effort to recover the remains of aircrew. The Netherlands airspace was used by Allied air forces to fly into Germany on their bombing runs. Thousands of aircraft were shot down over Dutch territory, many of which are still logged in the soggy soil and water ways.

A film from 1981 - about the finding of crashed allied aircraft, RAF and United States of World War II in the reclaimed land of Holland near Schiphol Airport, music by Mahler - comes with 1980s adverts too. I have never seen this film shown anywhere else. It's a haunting moody documentary. thanks to ITV."
