Sheridan's team on the survey consisted of the following people:
John Martin, 26, a geologist who had already seen the wrecked B-24 from the air. He was somewhat acquainted with B-24's having seen them flying over his home in England during World War Two.
Gordon Bowerman, 26, who was so experienced as a surveyor, that he was able calculate the party's position within a few feet of its actual location. Before the party was to set out for its survey of Application 121, Bowerman had no knowledge of the B-24's existence.
Martin, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic about Sheridan's planned "moonlight" expedition. For Martin owned a sailboat that needed a compass, and a compass from a B-24 Liberator would be just fine.
