WWII Plane Wreckage, Rural Santo 1 of 4

In 1943, the U.S. army engineers built a 6800 feet runway surfaced with coral at Turtle Bay on Espiritu Santo. Not all planes made it back to the airfield safely. Debris from planes that crashed can still be found in rainforest and even in fields in rural Santo.
