Description

In April 1943, the Lady Be Good, a brand-new B-24 Liberator bomber, vanished after its first mission. Believing they had bailed out over the Mediterranean, her crew parachuted into the Libyan desert with almost no food, no map, and barely a canteen of water.For eight days, they marched north, convinced rescue was just beyond the horizon. Instead, they walked deeper into the Sahara. Their ordeal was preserved in co-pilot Robert Toner’s haunting diary, discovered years later when oil surveyors stumbled across the bomber, almost intact, in the sand.This is the tragic survival story of the Lady Be Good crew.🔔 Subscribe for more real survival stories and historical mysteries.This video includes paid stock, public domain, or Creative Commons content under fair dealing/fair use.
