Default SBD Dauntless pulled from Lake Michigan

A Douglas SBD Dauntless that had ditched in Lake Michigan on a training run
in 1944 has been brought to land for restoration after 65 years under water.
The dive bomber lifted from the water to a pier in Waukegan 35 miles north
of Chicago, is among 130 to 300 or more planes estimated to have sunk in the
lake during training late in World War II.
