The Intrepid museum is showcasing part of the ship's past following a remarkable discovery by a Japanese fisherman. JohnBDias shares the story:
This year, the museum is showcasing part of the ship's own history that serves as a reminder of all those who lost their lives defending the country.
Eric Boehm, the museum's curator of aviation, says he's stunned over the remarkable find. A Japanese fisherman found the parts in his net.Through in-depth research, experts in Japan and America figured out the pieces were from a U.S. fighter plane, which took off from the Intrepid back in March 1945 when it was in use.
The devastating loss was profound for the Isley family, who feared his body and plane would never be located after eight decades of agonizing thoughts.
