World War II remains sought in Alaska
A team from the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory Hawaii is deploying to Alaska this week in search of remains of American servicemen who died in 1942, officials said yesterday.
They will excavate the crash site of a World War II aircraft that went down in 1942 with seven people aboard. The recovery effort will be centered on the Aleutian Island of Kiska, the Army said. Military records show that the aircraft's wreckage was found in 1943 and all the service members were buried in a common grave.
Attempts were made in 1946 and 1947 to recover the remains, but teams could not reach the site because of heavy snow.
