I recently spent the entire night watching Sole SurvivorВ (the 1970 movie with William Shatner), Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return, Ghost Bomber:В The Lady Be Good, and even TheВ Flight of the Phoenix.

The remains of the real plane had been found in 1958, some fifteen years after the crash, and apparently there was so much speculation about what happened to the crew that both of these 1960 TV dramas were hot topics at the time.ДЄpparently Kid Dabb and I were doing our research at the same time. It also was a story of what might have happened. Before the Twilight Zone episode was aired, earlier in 1960, there was an episode of Armstrong Circle Theater called 'Ghost Bomber: The Lady Be Good', and it featured a young George Segal. Could it be possible that you've seen both the Twilight Zone episode in the sixties and the 1970 made for TV movie with William Shatner and your mind has combined the two? Here is the wikipedia link: If you check the Wikipedia article for 'Sole Survivor', you will find most of those details that you mentioned, including the baseball playing. There was a 1960 episode of 'The Twilight Zone' with Robert Cummings called 'King Nine Will Not Return' that was based on that incident. The made for TV movie 'Sole Survivor' was based on a real lost plane called the 'Lady Be Good', which went down in 1943. The remains of all but one of its crew have been recovered. Although the aircraft was thought to have crashed into the Mediterranean Sea, with the loss of its nine-man crew, it was eventually found 710 km (440 mi) inland in the Libyan Desert in 1958. The plane, from 376th Bomb Group, had been on a bombing raid to Naples on Apwhen it was lost. Lady Be Good was a USAAF B-24D Liberator that mysteriously disappeared without trace on its first combat mission during World War II. Also, most of the images posted before the makeover have had their links removed. I'll see if I can dig up the original threads, but I believe these were before the big makeover of these boards - many posts were archived and are difficult to access. This has been researched here on these boards about 5 years ago with ambiguous results in that the poser of the inquiry could not come to a conclusion based on information provided by many of us. There is the Twilight Zone episode, of course - but that isn't what your looking for. This film was based on a true story about a bomber which crashed in the desert of (I believe) Africa - or on the African continent. It would be worth the effort to locate this movie as IвЂ™m sure many would pay to see it again. It was brilliantly done and the twist at the end was completely unexpected. I have thought about the movie for over 40 years because of the emotional impact it had. Many people have commented on this movie (and Sole Survivor) in an online forum at: Some recollections in relation to the movie title were: As the rescue crew drove away they found the last body several miles away.One ghost was left behind as his body was not recovered.The ghosts vanished as the bodies were recovered from around the plane.The crew then realised they were dead and were ghosts.A rescue team arrived but failed to acknowledge the presence the crew.The crew вЂlivedвЂ™ near the plane and played baseball.The movie is NOT вЂSole SurvivorвЂ™ with William Shattner, which had a very similar plot and was released in the early 70вЂ™s. It was in black and white, and likely made in the 50вЂ™s or 60вЂ™s. I and many other people have been searching in vain for a movie about a war plane that crashed and the crew turned out to be ghosts.
