Sole Survivor (1970 film) Sole Survivor is a "CBS Friday Night Movie" starring Richard Basehart, William Shatner, and Vince Edwards. The film, written by screenwriter Guerdon Trueblood and directed by Paul Stanley, was first aired on television in 1970. While the film follows the fate of the 6-man crew of a B-25 Mitchell bomber, it is loosely based on the 1958 discovery of the B-24 Liberator bomber "Lady Be Good" in the Libyan desert. The "Lady Be Good" and her 9-man crew had disappeared without a trace in 1943, following its first and only combat mission in World War II. The bodies of 8 of the crew were found in 1960.
Curtiss Thrush The Curtiss/Curtiss-Robertson Model 56 Thrush was a 1929 six passenger high-wing fixed undercarriage single-engine cabin monoplane airliner and utility transport powered by either a Curtiss Challenger or a Wright Whirlwind radial engine and built as an enlargement of the earlier Curtiss Robin. Several were used for record breaking endurance flights by female pilots during the early 1930s including one in which the aircraft stayed aloft for almost ten days.
