Oil Drums Save Bomber Forced Down in Sea
Item
Forced to land in the water off Coney Island beach, a twin-engine bomber, equipped only for land service, was floated and then towed by a Coast Guard boat to the seaplane ramp at Floyd Bennett field, a distance of almost six miles. After engines, instruments and part of the tail were removed from the plane, oil drums were lashed to the engine mounts to act as pontoons, with life rafts helping float the tail.
