IN RECENT WEEKS there hase been a flurry of communications flying backwards and forwards regarding the "mysterous disapperance" of several historica airframes from Papua New Guinea. For some years now there has been a terrific internet resource called Pacific Wrecks (www.pacificwrecks.com). It contains the Pacific Wrecks database, a resource started and run by Justin Taylan from Hyde Park, New York. The site also offers a free monthly email newsletter about World War Two Pacific discoveries and issues. The site hase been online for five years and offers a wealth of information from collaborators, veterans and historians worldwide. A new venture is the Pacific Ghosts CD, a copy of which I have seen, and it is excellent (visit www.pacificghosts.com)

... No doubt there will be developments over the coming months and the site to watch on this subject is www.pacificwrecks.com Justin Taylan should be commended for his impressive efforts.
