In 1972, soldiers in a group of Australian helicopters spotted something very large as they flew over the jungle in Papua New Guinea.

Papua New Guinea is an amazing place that includes many islands and ecosystems. At the same time, this place is home to many rare animals and plants. But some parts of the country are still unexplored, which is why it keeps many secrets.

In 1972, soldiers in a group of Australian helicopters spotted something very large as they flew over the jungle in Papua New Guinea. It turned out to be a World War II warplane, it had been there for 30 years.

Images of the discovery immediately began circulating in the press, and the plane came to be known as the “Ghost in the Swamp.” Unfortunately, it proved impossible for historians to get on the plane, but everything changed in 2006, when the rescue operation was successfully completed. The ghost in the swamp was in perfect condition due to the environmental factors where it had landed. Then this amazing piece of international aviation history returned to the United States.
