WWII Servicemen’s Remains Brought Home
From Times Wire Reports
The remains of what are believed to be seven World War II servicemen arrived on American soil, 60 years after their transport plane crashed in Southeast Asia.
The remains are believed to be those of a crew whose C-47 transport plane crashed in 1944 during an air supply flight between India and Burma.
They were brought to Hickam Air Force Base in an American flag-draped coffin by a team of investigators who made the discovery at a Burmese crash site last fall.
