A British museum has begun the process of lifting the only Nazi bomber to survive the World War II Blitz on London out of its shallow grave -- under 60 feet of water and shifting sands under the English Channel.
Sidescan sonar images taken in 2008 revealed the silhouette of the craft, Dye told FoxNews.com, as the shifting sands exposed the perfectly preserved plane for the first time.
The Dornier’s very existence is remarkable, he said; all of the hundreds of fighters that England shot down were smelted during the war and reused, ironically turned into British aircraft to continue the battle against the Germans.
