"The location was initially reported by Arizona mountaineer Clayton Kuhles, who had climbed the region's mountains as a hobbyist for years until he saw his first World War II crash site. Then he combined those two passions -- mountain climbing and recovery work -- building a network of villagers who would report things they'd seen in the mountains and experts who helped identify wreckage and crews. To Kuhles, there were too many airmen who'd never come home. He has found the crash sites of more than 80 missing airmen, and he is driven to find more."


Wow, this guy, what a hero!

Remains of a guy from home were returned from "The Hump" recently.
There are still living family including a sister and brother.
Have another friend whose brother was reported KIA, but they have no idea what happened to him.
We'll never stop looking.
