Nine survivors of a blazing American Superfortress plane which crashed in the Indian
Nine survivors of a blazing American Superfortress plane which crashed in the Indian Ocean have been recovering in hospital in Calcutta after rescue by two RAF Catalina flying boats.
The Catalina flew 800 miles out to sea and on two successive days brought back the men to an Eastern Air Command Base.
The fliers were survivors from the crew of a B-29 who had baled out after a Japanese fighter had shot out their number one engine and started a fire in the wing.
One Catalina picked up five of the men in the sea while the other flying boat took four men off a submarine which had piked them out of the water.
Picture shows: Two members of the aircraft going over to the submarine in a rubber dinghy to collect the four American survivors for their 800 mile trip track to safety.
