Remains of WW2 Japanese Plane Found Near Peru



Tumbes| A team of underwater oil and gas prospectors working near the northern part of the Peruvian coast have uncovered the carcass of a Japanese warplane from the Second World War era. The plane seemed to have been covered with bullet holes, suggesting it could have been gunned down in the area in a yet unknown aerial skirmish of the war.

The preliminary observations have permitted to identify the plane as an early model of Mitsubishi A6M Zero-Sen used by the Japanese Imperial Navy from 1940 to 1945. When it was introduced early in World War II, the Zero was considered the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range, and was the pride of the Japanese Navy.

Historical accounts of the Japanese military recovered by the American Army at the end of the war, make no accounts however of any operations or combat encounters in the area during the conflict. The presence of this plane wreck in Peruvian waters therefore raises a lot of questions concerning the circumstances of its crash. The Peruvian authorities have announced that the remains of the plane would be taken to the Universidad Tecnológica del Perú in Lima for further for analysis.

Controversial Australian WWII historians, Professor David Horner and Ashley Ekins, have already stated that they believe the plane could have been gunned down during a military skirmish that was kept secret, between the Japanese and American navies, probably up to a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States of America’s entry into the war.

“We have already been exploring the possibility for some time now, that the American government could have maintained the secrecy about such battles” explains Mr Horner. “We have been investigating reports of four such incidents, one of which was reported very close to the area where the plane was found. This could be the proof we were looking for, that could finally show the entire world that United States had in fact, ignored many warnings and incidents before the attack on Pear Harbor in December 1941.”
