gwb123 Posted May 9, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2015 Many of us have read about crews simply pushing aircraft off the fantail of their carrier as the ship headed home in 1945. I've always wondered if these would ever be found. Here's and example of a reported 150 aircraft in the vicinity of the Marshall Islands. http://imgur.com/gallery/dL6SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps there is something in your security settings on your computer. If you do a Google Search with the keywords "Marshall Islands WW2 Airplanes" and then select images, you will see many of the same or similar photos. Apparently the site is quite popular with divers.
