The Subic Bay dive association tech divers did find a TOBY in the Subic waters. We try to identify this aircrafts numbers but the plane is upside down on the bottom so the tail section showing the numbers is buried in the sand. Any idea where to find id numbers?

In responce to Aero99, the DC-3 was a pre-war design. DC-3s were flying in commercial service before Pearl Harbor. The C-47 (Army version) and RF4D (Navy version) were also in service before the US entered the war.

This plane looks alot like the DC-3. And if it was license-built, how is that because this craft was made in ww2 and just a year later, the Japenese attacked us and brought us into war.

It was effectively a licensed version of the Douglas DC-3.
But the Japanese feeled free improving it, with more power.
There were even a wooden-built version..
After WW2, all of them were scrapped, but first tested, and often found better than the original DC-3. No survivor.
