Follow a Philadelphia businessmen's quest to find his great uncle's WWII bomber in the jungles of New Guinea.



On January 18, 1943, Major William Benn and his crew crashed their B-25 bomber in the New Guinean jungle while on a routine patrol mission. The plane, called the "Red-Headed Gal," joined the countless other American craft lost on the mountainous, undeveloped island, where there are more missing WWII-era American aircraft than anywhere else on earth.

Fifty years later, a Philadelphia businessman named Fred Hagen--Benn's grand-nephew--embarked on an epic quest to find the plane. B-25 DOWN documents Hagen's incredible ordeal, which led some to question his sanity. Ultimately, however, he found not just Benn's bomber but also the remains of another plane, a P-47 Thunderbolt fighter. Here, Hagen details the many steps in his long search--including the additional task he took upon himself after discovering the P-47.
