About P51 "Mustang", wreck
P51 Mustang wreck is a Corsica aircraft dive on the south side of Ajaccio Bay, where the fuselage sits clearly on a sandy bottom and the wings are partly buried in silt. It is a readable wreck rather than a broken maze, with a strong WWII backstory tied to Lt. Don Taylor's 1944 loss after the Ajaccio stopover. Plan it as a guided wreck outing when you want a history-heavy dive with a clean, sandy profile.
