OTTAWA (AFP) - Canadian underwater archeologists accidentally discovered what they believe to be the wreck of a US Air Force airplane that sank in the Saint Lawrence seaway in 1942, the Parks Canada divers said Thursday.

The divers said in a statement that they were carrying out routine work in an adjacent area when they came across the wreck. It must still be confirmed that it is indeed the lost plane.

In 1941 and 1942, the United States constructed a series of airfields in Eastern Canada to ferry aircraft to Allied air forces in Northern Europe, as part of the so-called "Crimson Route."

Typical long wait times to receive medical attention in Canada is no doubt why it to so long to reach the victims in the wreck.

You mean they are finally out of the waiting room?
I expected they were still waiting in line.

The "US Air Force" didn't exist until it's incorporation in 1947, until that time it was the "US Army Air Corps". Just a minor nit...
