: We all know that Morotai island contained a huge graveyard
: of our combat veteran aircraft until 1988. Although a U.
: S. businessman tried to broker them at that time, they wer
: e instead shipped to a steel mill in Java. Does anyone kn
: ow if they were all smelted in Java, or if some might have
: survived and still be in a scrapheap at the mill?
:
: Biak of course was the graveyard for hundreds, if not thou
: sands of our aircraft. I understand that most of the isla
: nd is restricted from view. Could it be possible that eve
: n just a few of these aircraft could be in the restricted
: areas, thereby not being scrapped between 1955 and 1960?
: Would sure appreciate any status anyone might be able to p
: rovide.
