Palau - Marine, Army, Navy (P-MAN) expeditions:

P-MAN VI

P-MAN VI was conducted in Palau 14 January - 23 February 2004. Another diverse team of explorers again ranged from Peleliu to Babelthuap, this time collaborating with a team from JPAC (Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command), who was there during this period, and who planned excavations at three sites previously located and identified by the BentProp team. The BentProp team pursued new leads in parallel with the JPAC investigations. Here's the latest on the P-MAN VI expedition.

P-MAN V

P-MAN V was conducted in Palau 28 Feb - 17 March 2003. Another diverse team of explorers ranged from Peleliu to Babelthuap, and had some remarkable successes. Here's the P-MAN V report.

P-MAN IV

P-MAN IV was conducted in Palau 7-24 April 2002. This expedition involved a larger, more diverse team than some previous expeditions, and like so many things these days, the report on this expedition is even bigger than its predecessors...but some pretty dramatic reading! Here's the P-MAN IV report.

P-MAN III

P-MAN III was conducted in Palau 9-21 November 2001. We've prepared a new, extensive, illustrated report for the Explorers Club. It's a big document (more than 10 screens), but your persistence will be rewarded! Here's the P-MAN III report.

P-MAN II

P-MAN II was conducted in Palau 6-23 October 2000. We've prepared an extensive, illustrated report for the Explorers Club. It's also a big document (15 screens), but your persistence will be rewarded here, too! Here's the P-MAN II report.

P-MAN
