That article has it "nearly" right.

The Japanese cave airfield and a number of other jeep-in-box style stories are BS.

The lost vehicles supposedly in highly populated Guam are actually out of Alby Mangel's first home movie of the abandoned atomic test island base of Palmyra - Korean era vehicles.

The Catalina and DC-3 rescue from destruction are true (see attached Treaty).

This is the finest and most simple international agreement ever written. Billions of today's value in dollars for the entire WW2 USA/Australia Lend Lease program all accounted for, everybody responsible for their own actions, totally done and dusted within a few months of the end of the war on 1 page. It shows what can be done if politicians and public servants set out with good intentions.
