Imagine a fun day at the beach with your family when you notice something in the sand. You find out that it's a warplane that has been buried for 65 years from World War II! The pilot, Robert F. Elliot, during a practice mission in 1942, had to make an emergency landing due to a fuel supply error. As he landed, the belly of the plane sheared off a wing-tip in the shallow water but supposedly escaped unharmed. Sadly, three months later, he was shot down and his body was never found. His only living relative and nephew, Robert, was very emotional at the news because all he knew of his uncle was that he had left the plane and was uninjured.
