Historian and author Eric Wiberg joins CU-POD to reveal the forgotten WWII plane crashes off Rhode Island — including a D-Day wreck that no one ever recovered.
In Episode 016 of Cumberland Unfiltered, maritime historian and author Eric Wiberg unpacks the long-buried stories of WWII wreckage just off the coast of Rhode Island.
• PV-1 Ventura crash on D-Day — 7 men lost, no recovery
• 1951 F-86 mid-air collision over Cumberland — bullets, wreckage, fire
• How Eric uses sonar, military logs, and archival photos to track the past
• The emotional weight of stories that were never closed
Eric has published 45+ books, worked with the national archives of multiple countries, and located more than 10 lost aircraft in recent years — all while preserving the legacy of those who never made it home.
