Wartime History
Crashed on Biak.

Elliot Smock reports:
"This C-47 is located about 1km from the P-39. Max Priban is pictured with the tail stabilizer and wing parts lie close to the road and it is said that some of it was bulldozed there during construction of the road. Villages told us that further up the hill human remains are present in what they say is the wreckage of the forward fuselage but they would not take us as it was getting dark."
