Plane lands safely after jungle mudlift rescue
A U S transports crew and passengers survived a perilous jungle landing in British Guiana. Capt. Hil Gillespie guided the damaged air carrier onto a mudflat with a bent propeller and no injuries. Army engineers built five miles of road, three bridges, and a plank mat runway to lift the 17,000 pound plane and move it to solid ground. The operation required six large canvas bags to lift the landing gear and a coordinated effort by Miami pilots led by Capt. H Happy Goodwin to fly the recovered aircraft out after 21 days.
