Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum

This guide to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum in Honolulu centers on the corroded B-17 bomber inside the hangar, nicknamed the Swamp Ghost, which went down in a New Guinea swamp in 1942 after engine trouble and enemy fire on a mission near Rabaul. You'll hear how its ten-man crew survived the landing and spent days reaching safety, and how the wreck sat untouched in the reeds for decades before a 2006 salvage effort brought it here. Look closely at the hangar's original windows as you take in the aircraft.
