Discovering the intact fight of the Nazis under the sea

A rare bomber of World War II Nazi Germany was shot down on the English Channel and nearly preserved by preserved sand.

The Dornier 17 was taken with high-tech ultrasound.

The Dornier 17 bomber was shot down while participating in the British Battle. It crashed into the sea just off the coast of Kent, southeast of England.

The plane overturned under a depth of about 15m and was occasionally seen protruding partly when the sand receded. Then it was completely buried.

A high-tech ultrasound survey conducted by the London Port Authority (PLA) found the incredible integrity of the aircraft.

Ian Thirsk, the spokesman of the British Royal Air Force Museum (RAF) in Hendon, London, said he was "skeptical" when he first heard of its existence and integrity. 'This is one of the most important discoveries in the aviation industry of this century .'

Dubbed the "flying pencil," Dornier 17 was designed to be a passenger plane in 1934, but was later converted into a speedy bomber, because it was difficult to hit and was able to fly faster. opponent's fighter.

In total, about 1,700 aircraft of this type were produced, but they participated in long-range combat, limited bomb carrying capacity. So many were canceled later.

One Luftwaffe Dornier 17 was transferred from passenger to bombing.

High-definition images show that the aircraft is only slightly damaged, with the front cockpit and the observation door being collided.

' The bomb door was opened, indicating that the pilot had dropped all his gear so the plane was light,' the PLA spokesman said.

Two pilots on the plane were killed in the collision, while two others were taken prisoner and survived the war.

" Aircraft built almost entirely of aluminum and built one by one are the reason for it to be" long "for so long, " Garside said.

The RAF Museum launched a campaign to raise money to salvage aircraft.
