Nagaland Post | Agencies | Guwahati, Jun 1 ()
Over 400 US World War II servicemen are estimated to be missing in India’s northeast where recent field activities have yielded “evidence possibly associated with unaccounted-for personnel”, a US Defense Department official said on Wednesday.
“We estimate there are 425 servicemen still missing in northeast India, as per records from Second World War. We were flying missions from India, supporting our efforts in China and Myanmar and so there were crash sites that incurred accidents either because of weather or malfunctions or even enemy action and airplanes crashed and were lost,” said Lt. Col Kevin Pritz of the Department of Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Agency (DPAA), adding those missing were air servicemen, reported The Northeast Today.
