I was using Wikimapia today , looking at Western Bataan.
At a place called " Vigia Point " , someone submitted as a descriptor , " A Japanese plane crashed to this point during the Battle of Bataan as claimed by men of AA gun battery in Mariveles " .
Vigia Point seems to be between Camaya Coast , and Lusong Beach.
If true , I'm curious if the plane crashed in the water off the point , or on the point itself.
Does anyone have any info about this ?

I'm responsible for that wikimapia stuff. I saw a spent aircraft drop-tank on Lusong beach next to that point a few years ago. It was cut off on top and outriggers were attached to it, they fashioned it like a boat. I forgot to take a picture of that tank. It was made of fiberglass-like stuff. I don't know if it's from the downed Japanese plane near that point. I just read from a book and on the internet about a Japanese plane downed by the Battery C near that point. I have never returned to Lusong to further up my research.
