Its great they found the bodies and will now properly bury them.
I wonder why an American was on the plane when it was lost?
Probably one of the 6000+ US citizens that stayed in the RCAF rather then join USAAF after Pearl
Isn't that just amazing. Sometimes you think this world is getting so small. Especially Europe. Its just hard to believe that things like these are still found so long after the war.
Easier to understand in the Pacific theatre or the great expanse of Russia, but Europe? Wow!
May they rest in peace.
Mike, the Ardennes Forest area still has many aircraft left to recover. A large number of Luftwaffe losses during Operation Bodenplatte have yet to be found. You should read John Manhro and Ron Putz's book "Bodenplatte: The Luftwaffe's Last Hope"
Ardennes Region
That said they're still digging them up from the Battle of Britain where I live...
Wow! And thanks for the book idea.
