Check out the following link for information on a WWII Bell P-39Q Airacobra that was recovered from a Russian lake:
http://lend-lease.airforce.ru/english/articles/sheppard/p39/index.htm

"This amazing Bell P39 was located at the bottom of Lake Mart-Yavr within the Russian Arctic Circle in the summer of 2004. As with other recoveries over the years, it was discovered by a fisherman who saw the silt covered outline through the crystal clear water."
