It's interesting how I came across this forum.
I was doing a Google search on "Arunachal Pradesh", the Indian state where my uncle's B-24 crashed, and I got a hit on the post made by Andy in West Oz about the B-24 wreckage found in the Lower Dibang District of Arunachal Pradesh. I knew that wasn't my uncle's plane, because my uncle's plane had crashed in the East Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh.
We started this forum to be different to others and include details on many forgotten or ignored parts of different theatres, pre during and post ww2.

Seems to be working.

Welcome aboard again.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
