In 1943, a B-24 bomber called Lady Be Good vanished after a mission over Italy. Fifteen years later, it was found deep in the Sahara Desert, nearly intact, with no crew in sight. A diary discovered in the co-pilot’s pocket revealed the heartbreaking truth: the men had bailed out, unaware they were over land, and walked for days through the desert before perishing from exhaustion and thirst.

The Lady Be Good became one of World War II’s most haunting mysteries, a ghost bomber resting beneath the sands, a silent monument to courage, confusion, and endurance.
