Hi John,

First you did find a B-32, the USAFM looked for this a/c in the early 80's but gave up. As for other B-32 in the Pacific. Their were only about 30 or so build and most of them went to Tiania. Aside from the one you found their were three other wrecks one that bellied on the North runway and burnt a second that was scrap due to combat damage and a third that ditch not to far off of the South Runway. The remaining were flown back to the US were they were scraped Ironically the USAF had set one aside for the Museum but because of a paperwork SNAFU it was scrapped.

Their is a great book on the B-32 I can;nt remember who put it out maybe someone can tell you.
Hope this helps

Cheers Rob
