During World War Two, the area now known as Papua New Guinea was fiercely contested between Japanese and Allied forces, including hundreds of thousands of Americans. Thousands of aircraft were lost, and wreckage and human remains are still being discovered more than 80 years on.

These images were taken in 2017, 2019, and 2024. The images from 2024 were made while volunteering with Pacific Wrecks, a not-for-profit dedicated to documenting the war and bringing home those missing in action.
