New Zealand Air Force PV-1 Ventura
This is a New Zealand Air Force PV-1 Ventura from World War II. The plane was scrapped for parts and abandoned in the rainforest. The PV-1 Ventura was used primarily as a patrol bomber by the United States and British Air Forces in several different nations. It’s first flight was in 1941 and they are now almost completely gone. There are few in museums across the country, but other than a select few – there are no more PV-1 Venturas in flight.
