NEW DELHI — The United States will search for remains of several World War II aircraft and airmen lost over the forested mountains of India's northeast, a U.S. commander said this week.
The U.S. military said it lost about 430 Americans in 90 planes in India while they were on missions to resupply China's besieged army in the city of Kunming in a desperate attempt to fend off the invading Japanese during World War II.
Wreckage sites of six U.S. planes have been found in the jungles of India's Arunachal Pradesh state, giving the U.S. Joint Prisoners of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command a starting point for its first recovery mission in India.
