U.S.Forces captured many japanese aircraft at Clark Field, Philippines. Many aircraft were salvaged and tested by A.T.I.U.-S.W.P.A. Letters stand for Air Technical Intelligence Unit South West Pacific Area. Sometimes the letter "A" that stood for Air, was deleted.

Does anyone have any information on the claims that the Air Technical Intelligence Unit South West Pacific Area (ATIU) also discovered the remnants of the Amelia Earhart Lockheed Electra 10E in a hangar on Aslito airfield in June/July 1944?
