Wreckage from Tuskegee airman's warplane recovered from Lake Huron

We see a diver underwater who is examining the remains of a plane on the lake floor.

Divers have recovered the engine of a World War II fighter from the cold waters of Lake Huron off the coast of Michigan, where the airplane crashed almost 80 years ago during a training flight.

The crash claimed the life of the plane's pilot, 22-year-old 2nd Lt. Frank Moody, who was one of the many "Tuskegee Airmen" assigned to an army air base southwest of the lake to train on advanced aircraft.
