In 1943-1945, American pilots flew sorties to the northernmost islands of the Kuril chain - Paramushir and Shumshu. Japanese troops and airfields were located there. Aircraft shot down during combat missions often made forced landings in Soviet Kamchatka. Often, the remains of crashed planes were left at the crash site, while the survivors were interned in the United States.
The members of the expedition managed to remove fragments of the Ventura strike aircraft from the protected area: engines and one wing. The decision on where they will go next will be taken by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The acting director of the Kronotsky Reserve, Vsevolod Yakovlev, said that two years ago, state inspectors found fragments of another American aircraft, the Liberator bomber, near Vestnik Bay.
