Wartime History
Abandonded at Colonia Airfield on Yap Island.

Wreckage
Located deep in the jungle, a local guide is required to locate this wreck. The jungle is so thick, that the plane is almost impossible to see, or fully photograph.

Bryan West mentions:
"This Betty is just off of the runway into the jungle from the old airfield on Yap Island. It appears to have recieved an almost direct bomb hit because it is broken in half with the two ends about 50 feet apart from each other and shrapnel all around.

Attempted Recovery
Reportedly, this wreck was purchased by Nobuo Harada who purchases it, but the deal went sour due to landowners who blocked the recovery to keep the relic for tourists instead.
