Diver Finds Old Planes At Bottom Of Pacific, Then Understand Why They Were There
What Was Operation Rollup?
During World War II, plenty of vehicles like tanks, jeeps, and planes were brought across the Pacific. Once the war ended, the American military simply decided to eliminate this extra material by letting them sink to the bottom of the ocean. As Mueller found out in her research, that’s what Operation Rollup was all about.
The government realized that it would be much cheaper to do it this way, rather than to ship them back at home. Now it made sense to Mueller why these planes were in almost perfect condition – they were never even used!
