Mystery Aircraft Pieces Recovered – 1945
On July 30, 1945, it was reported in the Cape Cod Standard Times that the fishing boat “Wallace and Roy” had recovered pieces to an unidentified military airplane. The artifacts included a portion of “what looked like a gun turret”, and an airplane life raft. The articles were reportedly found about noon the previous day off Martha’s Vineyard, with no specified location given.
The raft was in good condition, indicating it hadn’t been in the water for very long, but there was no way to identify the aircraft the items came from.
