Looking for any info or leads on physical wreckage/parts possibily remaining from a B-25 that went down 3 April '45. Cebu City P.I. was smaller then and wreck site was north of town towards swamps and village of Consolacion. Have not seen anything on Pacific Wrecks website other than a record that the plane went down. Fortunately the crew member remains were recovered and all six returned to US over the years. Tail number: 44-29760. Thanks.

ive heard that after the crash the Filipino natives recovered Lt. Ehrhardt who died shortly after and that plane pieces and remains were taken by Filipinos, Japanese, and Korean people... i believe gunny sacks filled with skeletons, dog tags, and plane numbers were returned to the US by the koreans i dont know if that includes plane parts or not... sorry i cant help any further

Jake,

Thanks for reply. I'd also heard similar stories about the remains and dog tags. Will keep searching for the plane. Regards,
