World War Two 'remains' found in India

A US agency which deals with soldiers missing in action has found the suspected remains of more airmen who went missing over the Himalayas more than 70 years ago, the US embassy said.

The men were probably among the Allied pilots who flew the perilous route over the world's highest mountains to deliver military supplies from hundreds of Indian airfields to Chinese forces in World War II.

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) sent a team to India's northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh last September to try to locate the wreckage of a B-24 Liberator plane which crashed in 1944 with eight men on board.
