Alfred Hagen, a Philidelphia businessman who owns Hagen
Construction. It has no prior experience related to aricraft salvage, restoration or historical matters.
Hagen has traveled around
the world looking at WWII wrecks to salvage, including the
United States, Lybia and Papua
New Guinea. Hagen has
previously worked with David
Tallichet / MARC,
and submitted a proposal to the PNG
Museum to
recover B-17E 41-2446 known
as Swamp Ghost, under the banner of 'Aero Archeology'. Meanwhile, he funded the salvage of P-47D 42-22687 by Robert Greinert
His permit expired for the B-17, it was quietly renewed and the bomber salvaged in late April / early May 2006, and became highly controversial and impounded. His company was mentioned in the PAC Report on the Swamp Ghost by the PNG Government.
