Comment on Glacier Girl in California by FrankCarpine

I was very interested to hear of the rescue of the Glacier Girl. I served in Labrador in 1953/54 with the 59th Fighter Squadron and got to ferry a T-33 to Tule
from Goose Bay. We heard about the Lost Squadron and the buried P-38s but It wasn’t until after I had retired from my airline job that I heard that one of our Captains with Capital Airlines that I flew CoPilot for had flown one of those P-38s and it was his that they dug out of the ice. His mame was Harry Smith Jr. and his Dad was a Captain on Capital too. Sadly, Harry was gone before his bird was freed from the ice.

Don't know if you can do video screen captures, but I believe this video has every variation.

I’m looking for photos of p-38’s that have both the droop snoot option and the path finder options. Air classics ran a articile about one, Now I’m trying to build one in 1/48th scale.

Ok… thanks, the last time I recall a P38 was seen at the CAF airshow in Midland, Texas was Lefty’s White Lightning attending, been several years now. Glacier Girl sure is a beautiful P38. Maybe someday she will get to come to West Texas. Thanks so much for keeping us informed.
