Crocodile-Infested Swamp
To be clear, the plane was actually in Agaimbo, a remote swamp teeming with crocodiles where the pilot was attempting to land. Because of this, it is understandable why the find was in such excellent condition. It’s also not the kind of place you’d stumble upon by accident. Dealing with crocs would not be a pleasant experience, either!

Mystery Plane
But what was this mysterious aircraft? As it turns out, it was a World War II bomber that was given the nickname “Swamp Ghost” after the swamps of Louisiana. The aircraft was eventually regarded as something of a “holy grail” in the history of military aviation as a result of its accomplishments. When Fred Hagen, an aviation archaeologist, spoke to Southern California Public Radio in 2010, he said, “it was widely believed that it would be impossible to salvage this airplane.” One individual, on the other hand, did not believe it was impossible.
