From the March 8, 2017, CNN "Boy finds WWII plane with pilot's remains in the cockpit" by Judith Vonberg.
Fourteen-year-old Daniel Kristiansen and his father, Klaus, have discovered what is believed to be a Messerschmitt fighter plane buried in a field on their farm near Birkelse, in northern Denmark. He was using a metal detector out in the field, hoping to find something to show at school.
He remembered his grandfather telling him about a German plane crashing there during the war in November or December 1944.
They found the pilot's papers and believe the German was flying his plane from a training base for German pilots in Aalborg, a nearby city.
An ordnance team is working on the site to determine there is nothing dangerous.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
