A World War Two fighter plane that was lost in a training accident in the 1940s will be recovered and displayed, according to Wayne Lusardi, a state maritime archaeologist at Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, an underwater preserve in Lake Huron.
The airplane is a P-39Q Airacobra built by Bell Aircraft Co. of Buffalo, N. Y. And it crashed in April 1944 with Lt. Frank Herman Moody, a 22-year-old Tuskegee Airman, flying it. The Tuskegee Airmen were the U.S. Army’s first Black military aviators.
