Underwater graveyard of hundreds of World War Two planes revealed: Scuba diver captures stunning photos of aircraft lost and forgotten for over 70 YEARS on the Pacific Ocean seabed

    The find includes historic American aircraft including Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers and a F4U Corsair
    Photographer Brandi Mueller captured the planes while scuba diving around five miles from Roi-Namur in the Marshall Islands
    Aircraft were were pushed into the sea after Pacific Campaign of World War Two ended in 1945
    Campaign was part of the US Armed Forces 'island hoping' strategy which took them across the Pacific and within striking distance of the Japanese mainland
