1. A GHOST NO MORE... Swamp Ghost Salvaged
-------------------------------------------------------
This update covers the Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress 41-2446 known as 'Swamp Ghost'. In May 2006, it was salvaged. Its recovery proved to be highly controversial, and resulted in the bomber being impounded and the subject of an ongoing government probe.

New Website: TheSwampGhost.com
This salvage marks a turing point: there is no longer a relic like 'Swamp Ghost' in situ, on land, with equal history or intact condition. To track this ongoing news story, I have created a new website: TheSwampGhost.com My goal is to see the truth about this bomber presented, and news made available.
