Nice video! Our Commemorative Air Force Wing - The Golden Gate Wing, had as our guest speaker twice in the late 90's, Wally Dean who was (I believe) co-pilot on this flight. In any case, both presentations were videotaped with his recollection of the event.

Love it thanks for posting! There is an effort to raise the two B-314s that lie and the bottom of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. That would be wonderful.
