U.S. naval experts failed to find any wreckage of a plane shot down over the Baltic Sea during World War II with an American on board. Naval officials called off the search for the Kaleva, which Soviet fighter-bombers shot down on June 14, 1940, after it took off from Estonia. Among the nine people on board the Finnish airliner was Henry Antheil, a courier for the U.S. Embassy in Helsinki. The Soviet Union was an ally of Nazi Germany at the outset of WWII.
