It was a B-25 Mitchell in the Sandy Creek area. The man's name is Bobby Norwood that was raising the plane. For some reason, the military tore and pulled the plane apart after it was under water/crashed. I saw several pieces of the plane/prop etc in a warehouse in Montgomery. Mr. Norwood did recover the pilots helmet and some personal belongings and gave it to the son of the dead pilot or crew member. He even took the man there to visit the site. It was once thought that the plane was carrying special orders onboard (like top secret, drop the bomb or something) and that is why it was further destroyed after the crash. I think Bobby told me it was in many, many pieces. I believe the above information to be true, that is how it was told to me.
