Was reading this this morning - the Malaya Historic Group, on their own time and own dime searching out WWII plane crashes and identifying both planes and occupants.

Here is the story.

Here is the website - though I can't get it to work

Now that is impressive! I visited a couple of Crash sites in Labrador - one a B25, the other a PBY.
 
Yes, quite a dedicated effort. I could not get the website to load either. Guess something else has crashed.
Have a close friend trying to locate info/site of an uncle who went down flying the hump.
 
Great story.

It's never too late to bring a hero home.

Good on them. :yesnod:

What did you find in MACR?

Part of my work at the New England Air Museum includes tracking down crew reports and accident reports.

Ooof. I was part of an effort in '74 to visit MIA crash sites in SEA. Pulled out before we could determine anything, one of the teams was shot up badly and the decision was made to get the rest of us out. All on the hush-hush. Didn't know the "why" of it until the late '90's.

My fellow phlyin' photog Jimmy Alley was MIA until just a couple years ago. His story is a frustrating set of circumstances involving the BAT-Two-One SAR mission.
 
kinda off subject but just a couple of weeks before 911 I was contacted by a group that goes to Vietnam and countries over there looking for artifacts. They had found...and returned to me..one of my original dogtags that I was issued in April of 68. was and still is a moving experience.
 
That's MORE than spooky, Jack!

amazing - where would they even find it? Flea market?
 
Did ya lose a set? I have an abiding distrust that this is not unlike the "Fortune Tellers" along Daytona Beach or the various "psychics" around... but with LISTS of those who've served in-country.
