Interesting change in policy.

11 aircraft were taken out so far. I wonder what all came out and where they went.

I don't know what they got out of it but it makes me want to take the day of tomorrow and go Diving.

See Classic Wings 64 for an article on the aircraft that came out ( as much as we were allowed to report!)

I'd be interested on just where in the Solomons they came from? There are two B-17 wrecks that I know of & they are sometimes visited by divers. There are two museums on Guadalcanal. The first @ Beticama has a P-39 and SBD but the other, out toward Cape Esperance @ Vilu has an F4F, F6F, Corsair, the main spar of another Corsair, P-38, SBD, and parts of TBMs, Kingfishers & a Betty.
There is also a sunken Mavis flying boat maybe 100 yds. offshore of Gavutu near Tulagi. It is visible from a boat in the clear water.
