Missing Cold War Spy Plane Found

Friday January 30, 2004
On June 13, 1952, a Swedish DC-3 aircraft with an eight-man crew disappeared. The Swedish government said the plane had been on a training mission. The Soviet Union denied knowing anything about it. The Swedish government finally admitted that the plane had been spying on the Soviet Union and in 1991 a Soviet pilot admitted to shooting the plane down. But where was the plane? A team of deep-sea explorers has found the plane at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. There are plans to retrieve the wreckage.
