The Plunge

The aircraft was supposed to Port Moresby, the capital of New Guinea. However, the fuel leak and the damaged wing gave the crew little prospect of doing so. The pilot noticed the spot where they could make a crash landing. As they crept up over the Own Stanley Mountains, the pilot saw what he believed to be a wheat field. It was the perfect place to do a crash landing. However, it wasn’t what they had initially thought. The soft wheat field turned out to be something perilous.

What they assumed to be wheat field was in fact wetland. There were vicious crocodiles that dwelled in the swamps. The Flying Fortress crashed with a soft landing. Luckily, no one had been badly wounded in the skirmish. Although they’ve landed the plane safely, they now had to figure out how to escape the dangerous wetland. With no sense of direction or where they are headed to, the crew set out to find help and return to their base.
