The Gremlin Special was a Douglas C-47 Skytrain that crashed during a sightseeing flight over the Shangri-La valley in New Guinea in 1945. The recovery of the three survivors from an isolated valley surrounded by mountains, enemy troops, and native inhabitants made world-wide news at the time and is the subject of the 2011 book Lost in Shangri-La by author Mitchell Zuckoff.
