On April 5, 1944, on the return from an attack on Japanese forces in Hollandia, the A-20 Havoc piloted by 2nd Lt. Thomas E. Freeman crashed into the jungle near the Clay River in what is now Papua New Guinea. The remains of the crew were recovered in 1967. As for the bullets and other parts of the plane…they’re still there. In this photo, children in the village of Likan show what they brought back from a visit to the crash site earlier in the day.
