Ever wonder what happened to all that material wrecked or left behind in the South West Pacific.

Interesting site. It covers alot more than wrecks. In addition to the photographs, it gives a brief history of the subject.

Here is another shipwreck site

I purposefully did not delve too far into the contents so that anyone who checked the site out would be surprised. Unfortunately, greedy Americans are paying top dollar for this stuff and it is being stripped from the region. I mean they have pics of the first Wildcat shot down over Guadalcanal by Suburo Sakai to Admiral Yamamoto's Betty he was shot down in. Check out a link on the site called Pacific Ghosts, it is a cd-rom of alot of the wrecks and their histories. There is a D3A Val from Shokaku that they are pretty sure flew at Pearl Harbor and most definately at Coral Sea. It is also interesting to note the bases/airfields and such as they relate to the game we are so enamored with.
