An expedition has discovered the wreckage of an American bomber from the Second World War - in the middle of Siberia, reports RIA Novosti.
The wreckage of a World War II U.S. bomber has been discovered in the Siberian republic of Yakutia, a local official said Thursday.
[…] The expedition in Siberia discovered parts of a fuselage, propellers, a bomb rack, parts of the cockpit panel and engine, armor plates, machineguns, and pilot’s personal items.
The team has not found the remains of the pilot or his documents, though.
The discovery of an American plane from that era in central Siberia isn’t actually all that unexpected, as during the WW2 the US used to send bombers to Russia along a route that crossed Alaska and Siberia.
