San Diego Air Force Association (Chapter 118): Helldiver Recovery

A World War II relic was recently recovered from Otay Lake on 20 August 2010. The Helldiver crash landed in the lake on May 28, 1945 over 65 years on the muddy bottom of the lake.

Gene Alfaro of San Diego's Chapter 118 was there to witness the raising of the Helldiver and was gracious enough to share his photographs with us. You can view them in our gallery here.

He also provided a movie of the raising. Thanks Gene for covering this historical event.
