".........as many as 140 of the planes were buried in near pristine condition at various sites by American military engineers at the end of the war."
I knew it!! It was the bloody Yanks! They buried the crates, started the postwar rumours and probably falsified documents on top of it while keeping everything secret all these years! Sneaky bunch, too - infiltrating those RAF bases in Burma with heavy excavating equipment in the dark of night and digging all those massive holes. A dastardly, diabolical plan to drive the Brits bonkers, no doubt.
