I live fairly close to the United States Air Force Museum, where they have many recovered artifacts from the Lady Be Good crash site. It's a sad tale to be sure. One of the crewmen walked an incredible 109 miles before succumbing to the desert heat; a true testament to the power of shear human determination in the face of overwhelming odds.

One of the saddest artifacts is a canteen, recovered from the body of one crewman whose chute failed to open. He was - perhaps mercifully - killed instantly. The canteen still contains the water he placed in it 60 years ago.
