This Havoc was used by the Soviet air force and was shot down by anti-aircraft artillery on April 9, 1945 during an attack on a German convoy. The plane was forced to land, and the crew was saved. The wreck was discovered at the bottom of the Baltic Sea in June 2013, 4 km from Rozewie at a depth of 14 m. In October 2014, the plane was recovered from the sea. The wreck has been exhibited at the Polish Aviation Museum in Krakow since 2021. This photo is copyright © WalAndPl, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
