Discovered Wreck.

I have just completed a job uplifting a P38 in Papua New Guinea for future restoration. Whilst on the job we followed a lead on another P38 hidden in dense jungle, this lead turned out to be a B24 that as yet is undocumented. The serial number as read from the fin is 240348.

I am after any info or history on this aircraft.

Further to the discovery was the recolection of the village elder that at least 9 bodies were pulled from the wreck shortly after the crash only to be left on the track beside the aircraft for fear of the approaching Japanese.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Cheers
