Not only did they loose the B-29 but Rick, the Engineer became very Ill but before they could leave for Tule the Caribou had to have a jug change. With the cylinder R/R they flew back to Tule and Rick has surgery but unfortunately several days afterwards he pass away from a blood clot.
A jug change is no picnic, and w/cold like this makes even more miserable.
The U-Tube video is edited from the original PBS Nova presentation and has a different narrator, the DVD is available at PBS or I think Target had it. I purchased mine from PBS
I discovered a video update of the Kee Bird. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iop_cjxLVSI
