The Bomber Reef Part 4 of 5

This is the narrative about a North American B-25 Mitchell Bomber and its crew. Downed in August 1943 after a mission over Madang to destroy a fleet of Japanese supply barges. Hit by ground fire, ablaze the bomber plunged into the sea.

Five of the surviving crew swam to safety and were captured by the Japanese. After days of maltreatment, four including another B-25 crewman, were bayoneted to death. The lone survivor was shipped to Tokyo and remained in captivity untill the end of the war.
Today, the B-25, lying 20 meters below the surface, is a diver's dream and has become an intergrated part of the ecosystem. The underwater exploration is interwoven with the history of how the B-25 came to rest on the sea floor and who discovered it.
