Fifty years later, with collectors paying upward of a million dollars for salvageable World War II planes, two intense fanatics, legendary test pilot Darryl Greenaymer and starry-eyed salvage wizard Gary Larkins, hatched the insane idea of launching an expedition to Greenland to find the Kee Bird, bring it back to life, and fly it out. Booktopia has Warbirds, The Aviation Art of Adam Tooby by Adam Tooby. For nearly half a century, the almost perfectly intact warbird lay abandoned on a lake of ice?but not forgotten. But he never imagined that he would one day witness and participate in a heroic adventure himself?the most audacious warbird rescue attempt of all time.The crash of the Kee Bird B-29 Superfortress made banner headlines in 1947 when a team of Air Force pilots pulled off the near-miraculous feat of locating the wreck in Greenland and snatching its stranded crew from the teeth of the arctic winter. Like many men, writer Carl Hoffman was bitten by the warbird bug as a child.
