Bomber Reef, The

This revealing story is set in New Guinea during World War II and takes the viewer on a voyage of historic discovery. A North American B-25 Mitchell bomber was downed in 1943 on a mission over Madang, to destroy a fleet of Japanese barges. Hit by ground fire, the blazing bomber plunged into the sea. Today, the B-25, lying 20 metres below the surface, is a diver's dream and has become an integrated part of the ecosystem. The underwater exploration is interwoven with the history of how the B-25 came to rest on the sea floor and who discovered it.
