Some film of Douglas Globemasters too.

There was one “success”, an investigation of a crash site just inside China (the aircraft had demolished a house) revealed part of a boot (USAF issue and the correct size), a watch strap, pocket knife and some bone fragments.
DNA tests confirmed it WAS the pilot (can’t remember his name) and his family got closure at a full military funeral at Ft. Worth.

We tend to give the yanks short shrift on a lot of things but their MIA recovery unit obviously put a lot of effort into their job.

Roger Smith.
