Glacier Girl is a military aircraft that was discovered after 50 long years. On 15th July 1942 during World War II six P-38 fighters & two B-17 bombers from US air force made an emergency landing on Greenland Ice Sheet, due to the weather the crew was rescued but the jets were left.
The snow storms covered the jets with ice and after years of being under ice they were searched and one of the aircrafts was excavated in 1992. After 50 years one of the P-38 was once again in open air.
It took years to make Glacier Girl fly and finally in 2002 it was once again in air. The other aircrafts are still under the glacier for which a team is working. It is hoped that another p-38 will be recovered soon but the weather and drifting of glacier towards sea is making the task difficult.
