It was not a crater. The plane just pierced the soft boggy ground, pilots body flew after the heavy engine, thus everything was bent, squeezed, but not torn into pieces. Oil, fuel, clay and swamp preserved it all pretty well.

80 years worth of rain, foliage, branches and bark shedding, as well as whole trees falling and decaying in a forest located in an already wet boggy area will raise the ground level considerably, whilst gravity will tend to act upon heavy objects. None of this is surprising. Just look at the measures they’re using to shore up the sides of that hole to prevent collapse.

2010 I was working on the island of Guadalcanal. Went hunting for pigs with the natives (spear and dogs). We found a crashed P-38 Lightning in the jungle with pilot still onboard. Notified the US military and they came out to the island about a month later to retrieve the body. I also found a US tank, machine guns, pistols, bayonets, helmets and a US brass-knuckles trench knife with 5 notches on it. Still a lot of artifacts there. All you need is a metal detector and info on where the battles took place.

You guys are just amazing. God bless you all for bringing back this brave pilot. He died as a hero fighting Nazis. When your video stated that the pilots Jaw was found, it sent a shiver through me!

I think it might be the clay that creates a sort of packing material to block out some of the decay and oxygen. I would hazard a guess that if the plane and pilot had crashed in a field of sand/black earth, most of the metal items would have eroded resulting in rusted artifacts. Interesting how nature can preserve or destroy items from the past. Glad to see the pilot’s family was able to receive his personal effects and receive a proper burial. My hats off to the recovery team. Excellent work.
