    Abandoned Crash Sites.

    Interesting page with photos of abandoned air crash sites. Most of the crash sites depicted on this site occurred in the high deserts of California. Many of them have been there since the early 1940's. Those who explore these sites encourage visitors to not take "souveniers" from the sites. Many of these sites are sovereign ground where men who served their country have died. Explorers are encouraged to leave the sites undisturbed out of respect for the men who served.

    In any even it is quite interesting...

    Interesting. Some of the accidents that happened during wartime were not reported at the time.

    Where does it say there weren't reported ? Some of them were not found untill years later thus the actual locations and full investigations were not reported. But is seems that in all cases they were reported missing and it was known they went down.

    Great stuff.

    Now I won't hear from Sarah for awhile. She's really into plane crash sites.

    I didn't mean that necessarily happened in this case, but it was a fact that there was an Office of Censorship during WW II and WW I.
