DISCOVERY CHANNEL AIRS MIA RECOVERY WORK

On Sunday at 9:00 PM the Discovery Channel aired a one hour program detailing the recovery work by CILHI and others in their efforts to identify the remains of a 10-man crew of a WWII B-24 which crashed in China in 1944. The aircraft was returning from a bombing mission against Japanese shipping on the island of Formosa. It never returned to its home base.

In October 1996, two Chinese farmers discovered the crash in a deep ravine in southern China. Chinese officials reported the find to President Clinton in November, and a DPMO and CILHI team visited the crash site in January 1997. CILHI sent a team back to the site in the fall of 1997, then again the following year, and plans to return this year. The forensic anthropological work is making steady progress in accounting for these crewmen. The families of the crew are being briefed periodically as the work progresses.

For those viewers who missed the first Discovery Channel airing, it will appear again on April 25 at 6:00 PM, EDT
