Like already posted in this General Forum the Documentary " The lost Bomber " about the discovery in the Italian Dolomiti mountains of the Alta Badia Valley , BZ , is ready. See : http://www.armyairforces.com/forum/m_139481/tm.htm Director ANGELO RASTELLI , Screenwriter ANDREA BAYER , Photographer LUCA CARPIGIANI , Producer ANNA CLAUDIA RACCO and GIORGIO PIETROBON as Author of the Research and interpreter. 25 Men and Women eye-witnesses told the tragic event and the times after. They gave interesting stories, pictures and fragments from the scraped wreck. Some young Ladinian people of the nice village of COLFOSCO interpreted scenes "as in the war time". The municipality of CORVARA in Badia , Bozen/Bolzano Province , well supported the Video Team in October 2005. KEITH BULLOCK former RAF Navigator was "Maestro" of investigations. Two WWII Pilots of the 98th Bomb Group offered video interviews : Capt. REUBEN WELTHA and Maj. ROBERT Bob STERNFELS . HERB HARPER 98th BG Veterans Association ' Historian and ALLAN Al BLUE B-24 Historian gave also important contributions . GLENN STRONG Associate Historian of the 459th B.G. was first to communicate the burials ' locations of the Crew. 10 KIA. WWII Pilot JIM GRAHAM past President 1st Fighter Association was and is perfect promoter of meetings between USA-Austria-Italia ' Researchers. So I am now in touch with 5 of the crewmembers ' families of the last mission of serial # 42-40402 "The Sandman". Sunday 19 December 1943 . Target Messerschmitt Plant Augsburg, Germany. But here is the new : 2 short pieces of the video are visible . I found it surfing in the web. If interested you can digit following addresses : http://www.0951film.com/index.php?m=1&v=2&recID=39
