Warbirds Underwater

I keep getting search and debug errors when I search this.

Let's see some pics of warbirds resting on the bottom.

I would particularly interested in B-24s, but not limited to. THanks!

Why has the pilot not been recovered? That seems sad to me.

That Privateer looked pretty good. Well at least as good as a stretched image can get!

I'd be willing to bet the MIA people know of this wreck and the fact that the pilot is still there. If it were my Dad/brother I'd want him left there. IMHO..what greater honor than to be "buried" with so many other brave men?

That Wellington appears to be very intact and in excellent shape. Anybody know where it is? It's not the one recovered from Loc Ness, is it?
