Divers searching Lake Huron for pieces of aviation and Black military history are bringing up parts of the plane 2nd Lt. Frank Moody of L.A. flew in 1944.

The plane was being flown by 22-year-old African American pilot Lieutenant Frank Moody when a malfunction led to the plane crashing into the icey waters of Lake Huron. His body washed ashore a few months later

The wreckage is of a World War II-era fighter plane flown by a member of the Tuskegee Airmen that crashed during training nearly 80 years ago.

A team of divers have been trolling the deep, cold waters of Lake Huron off Michigan's Thumb for several weeks each of the past few years searching for scattered pieces of aviation — and Black military — history.
