U.S. team to look for wreckage of planes lost in Asia during WWII

No. Not anything new, but in regards to India it probably is. Some of those locations will be pretty remote. The losses ‘Flying the Hump’ must have been terrible in both personnel and aircraft? Hopefully they will be successful and lay to rest those still missing!

I’m not sure if that’s anything new.
The U.S. has had teams (JTF Full Accounting) in Korea, China and Vietnam for years. They have also provided expert services in identifing remains of airmen lost in the US during WWII training missions, like the bodies found recently in the Sierra Navada mountains.
