8 November 2008:
On 28 July 1945, after USAAF B-24s bombed the IJN base at Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, a B-24 named Taroa was shot down, and crashed in Ishiuchi, Itsukaichi Town, Saeki Ward, Kure City.
Three of its crew were captured, then A-bombed at Hiroshima City.
Their remains, if any, were not recovered or returned to USA.
A (then) school boy, at a farm near the crash site, collected a piece of metal debris from the wreck.

Recently, a historian named Mori Shigeaki (71) took the debris. 1 m X 24 cm.
In August 2008, he wrote to the relatives of this B-24 crew.
In October 2008, he received two replies from relatives of Charles Baumgartner (then 29), and Julius Molnar (then 21).
He cut about 20 cm off the debris, and on 4 November, sent the pieces to the relatives, as mementos.

Mori wrote a book about what happened to the crew of the two USAAF B-24s and 20 USN aircraft that were shot down on 28 July 1945.
