I am amazed that you actually got to see and put your hands on the Lady Be Good. Such a sad story.

Talking about their deaths, Gotthard, it had to be terrible. Before they died, they would have gotten to the point they no longer could make tears, so they had the sensation of sand and ultimately were no longer to open them.

I read that the navigator's tools were stored away and there were thoughts he never used them to verify where the plane actually was, relying instead on the erroneous beacon readings.
