Papua and New Guinea - Mt Wilhelm and Mt Giluwe / Bits of "Under Exposed"

DESCRIPTION: During the Second World War in the early hours of May 22, 1944, an American F-7A (a converted B-24 Liberator) named "Under Exposed" crashed into the mountain while flying too low. The aircraft left from Nadzab airbase, close to Lae, and had been assigned for a recognisance mission to photograph Padaidori Island in Dutch New Guinea. Around 0400 the plane crashed into Wilhelm at about 13,000 feet above the twin lakes. All crew were killed and most of the wreckage has slid down into the daughter lake but some fragments still remain on the site
