Wartime History
Abandonded after the war at Susaki Airfield on Chi Chi Jima. Possibly, this Betty was force landed at the
airstrip in an attempt to resupply the island, on the crude airstrip.
Roy
Wiggs recalls:
I photographed thiw Betty in October of 1962. The wreckage
is in the woods beside a very crude airstrip. The airstrip
was located on the east side of the island and was very easy
to find. The crash site was on the eastern side of the bay
towards the northern end."
Wreckage Today
All traces of the plane have since disappeared and the local people aren't
aware of what happened to it. Probably, it was scrapped or removed.
