Remains of WWII Pilot Being Returned to U.S.
From Times Wire Reports
July 14, 2006


The remains of a U.S. fighter pilot are on their way home from a deep jungle ravine in Fiji, 64 years after his airplane disappeared during World War II.

 A 12-member team from the Hawaii-based Joint POW and MIA Accounting Command on Wednesday accepted the remains of the man, whose identity the U.S. Air Force has yet to disclose, from the residents of remote Naivucini village on Fiji's main island.

Boar hunters stumbled upon the wreckage in 2004.
