A second rescue operation was launched, but the plane, the Grumman Duck, flew into a storm and vanished. The survivors of the B-17 spent 148 days fighting to stay alive while waiting for rescue by famed explorer Bernt Balchen. Then in 2012 the U.S. Coast Guard and North South Polar mount an expedition to solve the mystery of the vanished plane and recover the remains of the lost plane's crew. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Search and rescue operations $z Greenland. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army Air Forces $x Search and rescue operations. 650 0 $a Search and rescue operations $z Greenland. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013356.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203014633.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204063855.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110045821.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720042204.0 952 $l RSPC135 $d 20180623053629.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418094002.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C5C5ADEEEA611E290836AB8DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
