[dirtysidedown430]

Today on DM web site dumped WW2 aircraft dumped over the side in the Marshalls islands

I flew in to Roi 6 days a week for about 2 years and never knew about those planes, there was a F4U about 1/2 a mile off the end of the runway and down the reef a ways a Japanese sub

I guess the B-25 and C-46 were AAF ones and can be recovered and preserved without someones underware getting into a bind.

While Miss Mueller may have discovered these wrecks for herself (and, to be fair, I don't see that she claimed to do anything more than take and share a lot of new high quality photos), the site has been well known for some time. If you can't travel to the Marshalls for a look in person, check out the 2007 documentary The Silent Wrecks of Kwajalein Atoll

Reading the thread's heading, I wondered how many aircraft the Daily Mail had.

Stunning pictures. Certainly the planes are a corroded mess at this point and aren't worth salvaging.

Nice photos. That B-25 looks like an "H", and maybe she should read up a bit on naval aircraft. That wing isn't falling off the TBF! (You mean it's suppose to fall off like that?!!)

I would always recommend that any article published in the Daily Fail is treated with extreme care until proven accurate by an alternative (e.g.reliable) source. Their track record on aviation reporting is appalling

For a good example of this:

Agreed, nothing new here. I have the documentary somewhere in my collection and I believe the B-25 is actually a PBJ-1H.
