A "must see" for aviation enthusiasts, this trilogy brings to life the history of a spectacular warbird. Crashed and abandoned on the Greenland ice cap during their original WWII mission, six P-38 Lightnings and two B-17 bombers of The Lost Squadron awaited discovery. Fifty years later, a 1992 expedition battled arctic extremes to recover one of the P-38s, all of which were discovered under 260 feet of ice, with hopes to restore and one day fly again.

Combined on this single disc, the episodes feature interviews with pilots who flew the P-38, surviving members of The Lost Squadron with vintage photos taken at the time of the crash, WWII film footage, restoration work on the aircraft and the remarkable rebirth and first flight of "Glacier Girl," as the recovered and restored plane was dubbed.

This incredible story pays homage to the last of the great prop driven fighters of WWII and to the dedication and determination of the men who made the recovery and restoration possible.

For 50 years, a squadron of six P-38s lay buried in the glacial ice of Greenland - time capsules left behind from World War II.

Camped out in tents on the Greenland ice cap a team of explorers melted a 268-foot tunnel straight down to the plane, revealing a surprisingly intact

P-38. Then the plane was dismantled and hauled up to the surface. It took four months to recover. Now recovered from its frozen tomb it was transported to a new home in Middlesboro, Kentucky, where it was meticulously restored to its former glory. In October of 2002, it flew again for the first time in 50+ years.
