1944 footage of B29 rescue

Thanks to Ed B. for sending this.

"An entire crew of a B-29 (12 aviators) was rescued by a US submarine after their plane was shot down in 1944, 57 miles off the coast of Japan. The entire rescue was filmed in color but then sat in a guy's closet until now. This is a story from a Denver TV station of one of those rescued aviators to whom the video was delivered. It also shows their transfer to another submarine that is likely headed back to port before the one that accomplished the rescue."
