The B17 American Bomber was used during WWII (1941+). It was also named the "Flying Fortress", becauce of it's 13 machine guns!
In 1944, the B17 G "Baron" was in mission in Italy. Unfortunately, German fighters hit the Baron. Without any radio, the pilot Frank Chaplick, decide to fly to Calvi (Corsica, France). The landing strip was too short, so he decided to land on sea.

#2 - Punta Rosa
France, Mediterranean, Corsica, Calvi
Nice dive site not far from Calvi. You can go down to -45m to the left or right of a big rock that forms a plateau under water. If you keep the rock to your left you will eventually find an overhand with red corals growing on it.
Very nice seascape, but - surprisingly enough - not much life at all.
