At Millendreath two miles west along the coast from Downderry are the remains of an American Flying Fortress Bomber. The bomber was hit, and the pilot new he could not land the plane so he instructed his crew to bail out once the plane had reached the British coast. The pilot turned the plane around and sent it heading out to sea before he bailed out over Downderry. Unfortunately the plane did a U turn and started to head back towards the shore. It finally crashed about half a mile offshore in about 10m of water.
