The Richard I. Bong Veterans Historical Center in Superior, Wisconsin, and the nonprofit World War II historical preservation group Pacific Wrecks are teaming up to search for the wreckage of World War II ace Richard Bong's plane, which crashed in the South Pacific in 1944. Bong, credited with shooting down 40 Japanese aircraft, flew a Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane named "Marge." The search, led by Pacific Wrecks founder Justin Taylan, aims to find conclusive evidence of the plane's identity and will cost about $63,000.

Possible Discovery of Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane Wreckage in Pacific

A South Carolina exploratory team claims to have found the plane Amelia Earhart was flying when she disappeared in 1937 using sonar images from a previously unexplored area of the Pacific Ocean. The robotic company Deep Sea Vision believes the wreckage matches the unique features of Earhart's Lockheed 10-E Electra aircraft and suggests that she may have attempted a gentle water landing. The exact coordinates of the find are being kept private pending further examination, and the discovery has sparked intrigue and calls for further investigation from experts in the field.
