One plane wasn't found until 1955, at the bottom of a reservoir. The other plane was discovered in 1960 at the bottom of a lake, high in the mountains. Concerning this second B-24, the co-pilot's father had died the previous year after dedicating his life to searching for his son. He missed the crash site by only ten miles.
