Richard "Dick" B**g was America's top flying ace in World War 2, shooting down some 40 Japanese aircraft during his three tours of combat. He famously named his beloved Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane "Marge" after his girlfriend, Marjorie Vattendahl, and he even plastered her photo on the nose of the jet.

But in 1944, another pilot was flying Marge when its engine failed and crashed over Papua New Guinea. Now, nearly 80 years later, a search team has uncovered the wreckage of Marge in the jungle, with its red wingtips and part of its serial number still intact
