read a Green Lantern comic many many years ago about such a story but it was an alien ship not a plane...

Supposedly there are a bunch of WW2 Spitfires that were recently found buried in the original crates. Check this out:

I'm looking forward to seeing those Spitfires after they are unboxed. Fingers crossed that they are in mint condition, which would be awesome.

Great articals, I love finds like these. Now if I could only find a well preserved 356 or 911, I would really be happy.
