Death in the Desert: Lady Be Good...

www.scottflies.blogspot.com

As the DC-3 carrying Sheridan flew away from the wrecked B-24, Sheridan resolved to see the old bomber up close-on the ground.  He and the others aboard the DC-3 wondered what happened to the crew of the broken bomber.  Were they entombed inside?  Did any of them make it out of the desert?

It is tempting to dismiss Don Sheridan as a self-centered adventurer.  But, his motives may have something to do with the demise of the HMS Kelly, which went down near Crete in 1941.  Sheridan's brother, 27 year old Vincent Sheridan, went down with that ship.
