P-38F Glacier Girl

Plastic Model Kit by Academy
During the summer of 1942, a flight of two B-17 Bombers and six P-38 Fighters were being flown to England from the United States in support of the war in Europe. The planes flew into a massive storm system near Iceland. In an attempt to avoid the storm the flight turned back for the safety of Greenland. But, again, they ran into storms. Their only chance for survival was to crash land on the glacial wastes of Greenland. Although the first P-38 plane to attempt landing flipped over, all remaining aircraft got down without significant injuries to any of the men. After eleven days the men were rescued by a team from a US Army weather station stationed at Angmagssalik, Greenland. The warplanes were abandoned on the glacier and after the first winter never to be seen again.

On August 1, 1992 at 2:32 p.m., after four months of laborious work, a seven-member team surfaced the first and only P-38 and christened her "Glacier Girl". Upon her return to the United States, she soon found her home in Middlesboro, Kentucky. Located at the Middlesoboro-Bell County Airport, she was restored to flyable condition by a team of restoration experts.
