My Gal Sal is a B-17E-BO Flying Fortress whose pilot was forced to land it on the Greenland icecap during World War II.

[1] The airplane's propellers were damaged by the landing, which kept the engines from being run to generate power needed to use the radio.

In 1965, with USAF cooperation, the Society of Automotive Engineers sent a representative to the crash site to gather various materials from My Gal Sal, such as hydraulic fluid, navigational equipment, and rubber.

The team wished to understand the long-term effects on the materials from harsh environment of the Arctic and applied these findings to such military programs as the Titan and Minuteman ballistic missiles being maintained in underground silos.

The plane was restored to a static configuration at Cincinnati-Blue Ash Airport (ICAO designation: KISZ) in Cincinnati, Ohio,[4][5] and is now part of the collection of the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana.
