Sunken Treasures: Underwater Aircraft Archaeology with Dominic Bush

Special guest Dominic Bush and moderator Ret. General Dan Leaf explore underwater aircraft wreckages and answer viewer questions.

Thousands of planes from over a century of wars lay scattered along the ocean floor, their stories held together only by the marine life that call these wrecks “home.” Underwater aircraft wrecks have intrigued minds and imaginations in the decades since the end of World War II, especially in the world of academia. Marine archaeologists secure vast pools of funding for deep sea investigations in hopes of recovering anything they can to learn more about these aircraft and the aviators who flew them. Join Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum and PhD candidate Dominic Bush to discover the fascinating science and law behind the preservation, conservation, and documentation of these historic sites.
