Museum, historical group launch search for wreckage of ace pilot Richard Bong's crashed plane
Summary by Ground News
The Richard I. Bong Veterans Historical Center in Superior and the nonprofit World War II historical preservation group Pacific Wrecks announced the search on Friday. The search could take almost a month and cost about $63,000 generated through donations. Another pilot was flying the plane in March 1944 over what is now known as Papua New Guinea when engine failure sent it into a spin.
