Mission History
Ditched or crashed in the Jammer Bay area, near Mongo.
Wreckage
Upside down on a wall starting
depth at nose about 60 feet and tail at 83'. No battle damage
is apparent; plane either ran out of fuel, or experienced mechanical
trouble
and ditched. Canopy is pushed back and pilot is not inside. Aircraft
is in excellent condition with little airframe damage.
Don Fetterly reports:
"This is an early production Model 52 as it has drum fed
long barrel 20mm cannons one per wing as shown in the photograph.
Plane is orthogonal to wall and less than 40 feet from shore."
