Hello Friends
On the 8th to 10 Feb 2008 a group of us went up to the Tarak Ridge (SE crater rim of Mariveles volcano) to find the plane of Lt Earl R. Stone who crashed into this mountain on the 9th Feb 1942 together with his foe, a Japanese fighter. This happened in the process of protecting Capt. Villamore who carried out a photo mission trying to locate the Japanese. Artillery in Cavite who were causing havoc on Corregidor.
Kevin, a photographer, who works on stories like this and Spike, who was a POW in Hanoi Hilton organized this search effort and they had the help of several FedEx pilots. The brother of Lt Stone, still alive, had asked Spike for help.
Residents of Zambales and Bataan joined in this effort with information on these planes and gave us man power and other logistic support.
I was able to help a little and in the process took some pics. Here are some with stories to go with them.
Enjoy, Karl

Note to those who find 'airplane wreckage' could you please place an object (like a simple 6 inch scale) next to the object so we can get some idea of the size of the object? The enclosed photo from Battan could be a landing gear part, or it could be a motorcycle swing arm, but with no reference to it's size. who really knows?
