Rob Greinert has been given a very bad press, but as Elliot and Mark have pointed out, this slightly redresses things:

A few years ago I saw extracts from the CILHI report after a team visited the P-47 crash site (twice I think?) when the wreckage was in situ. It made clear that no trace of the pilot, Lutes, was extant on site – either in the aircraft or nearby. It was concluded that he had either survived and walked off into the jungle and been lost, or else had been taken away from the site and died elsewhere. The possibility of wild animals having some part to play was also suggested as I recall. Either way, his remains were not associated with the aircraft or immediate crash site. Period.

Unfortunately the truth is not such a good story as “grave robbery”.

BUT only if he has His Name on the planes’ V5 owners car Log book.”
