B-24 Bomber found in waters near Port of Palau
A U.S Bomber has been found in waters off Palau, 60 years after it was shot
down.
The remains of up to eight American servicemen could be on board and the exact
position of the World War Two aircraft has not yet been released.
The leader of the volunteer Bentprop project, which tries to find missing aircraft,
Dr Patrick Scannon, said the discovery of the men would help the families of
those missing bring their relatives to rest.
The aircraft is a B-24 Bomber that was shot down during a pre-invasion raid
on a Japanese air base established in Palau.
The BrentProp Project team as been in search for the B-24 for eight years. But
recent released pictures by the U.S Military had lead the team to a new area
of discovery.
Not only was this Air craft missing in action but Dr Scannon believes more than
100 aircrafts were shot down over the Palau Island area.
