In the summer of 2007, a Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft, presumed to be USAAF serial number 41-7677, emerged from the sand of a beach in Wales where it crash landed in 1942. The aircraft, largely intact and remarkably free of corrosion, is one of the most significant WWII-related archaeological discoveries in recent history. We call her the Maid of Harlech after the magnificent 13th century Welsh castle. Please join with us in saving this historic damsel in distress. Click HERE to read about The Maid of Harlech. |
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (acronym TIGHAR, pronounced “tiger”) is the world’s leading aviation archaeological foundation. A full-time professional staff guides an international membership of researchers and supporters in the non-profit organization’s efforts to find, save, and preserve rare and historic aircraft. Members are the lifeblood of any organization and that’s especially true of TIGHAR. Not only does a strong membership provide a sound financial base, but member participation in research projects, training programs, and expeditions is essential to the accomplishment of TIGHAR's mission.
