The remnants of a fighter jet, which belonged to one of the greatest fighter pilots of World War II, Richard Bong, are believed to have been found in Papua New Guinea. The plane, called "Marge," disappeared in March 1944 after an engine malfunction while flying over the area that is currently called Madang Province. The exploration was conducted by people associated with the organization "Pacific Wrecks" and the historical research center of Richard I. Bong Veterans. There are indications that the serial numbers inscribed on the fragments of the found metal match those registered for the aircraft. The plane was found in the jungle, and its access remains challenging; hence, it has survived in its broken form.
