Generally when we think about downed aircraft in New Guinea its the jungle that covers the secrets...

But we  (me) most of the air war was over the coastal areas or across the ocean in the many harbours that the islands had.

Rabaul being the staging post for most Naval forays, to NG. This wreck is to the south of the island (NG).
