A sunken WWII bomber lies hidden within an Australian coral reef
In short: Marine explorer Ben Cropp investigates the wreckage of a four-engine Allied bomber discovered near a coral reef. This documentary follows the search to identify the lost warbird and honor the crew who perished in the crash.
During World War Two, over 200 Allied aircraft went down in northern Australia. Many of these planes remain missing, with no survivors or witnesses to provide a final location for the wrecks.
The discovery of a sunken wing has prompted a new mission to identify the specific aircraft. By gathering historical data, the team hopes to solve the mystery of this lost bomber and provide closure for the aircrew who died in the incident.
