Anything buried on Iwo Jima would have corroded and turned to dust long ago.The Island is volcanically active and the soil is extremely high in sulfer content and full of all of the acids and other nasty chemicals that go with sulfer.I have seen pictures of various war machines taken on Iwo and all were unidentifiable chunks of rust.aluminium aircraft would be gone.








Are the rumors I've heard about P-51s possibly being burie
: d there true? Has anyone on the board been there?
