1945 New Guinea Gremlin Special rescue : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1945 New Guinea Gremlin Special rescue
The Gremlin Special was a Douglas C-47 Skytrain that crashed during a sightseeing flight over the Shangri-La valley in New Guinea in 1945. The recovery of the three survivors from an isolated valley surrounded by mountains, enemy troops, and native inhabitants made world-wide news at the time and is the subject of the 2011 book ''Lost in Shangri-La'' by author Mitchell Zuckoff.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/c-47/42-23952.html )〕 ==Accident== The Gremlin Special flew into the side of a mountain on May 13, 1945. Five passengers survived the initial wreck with two, Sergeant Laura Besley and Private Eleanor Hanna, succumbing to injuries the next day. The survivors were Corporal Margaret Hastings, Sergeant Kenneth Decker and Lieutenant John McCollom. The Baliem Valley was previously explored in 1938 by Richard Archbold, flying in a PBY-2. Although the press believed the survivors of the Gremlin Special crash to be the first outsiders to encounter the Dani people who inhabited the area, Archbold had sent two exploration teams into the valley in 1938.〔
