In this 2014 photo provided by Pacific Wrecks, Justin Taylan, founder and director of Pacific Wrecks poses at a World War II airplane wreck site in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Taylan founded Pacific Wrecks 20 years ago after visiting crash sites and battlefields with his grandfather, a WWII veteran. Since then, the 37-year-old Hyde Park, N.Y., native has visited PNG dozens of times to search its dense jungles for wreck sites and is wrapping up a two-year contract with the Pentagon to help find the remains of Americans still listed as missing in action there.
