The Story So Far
- During WW-II, hundreds of Allied planes carrying essential supplies to besieged Chinese forces crashed in the dangerous air corridor connecting Assam and Kunming
- The remains of over 400 missing US airmen and wreckage of several planes are believed to lie in the Northeast
- The US government, pressed by relatives of missing airmen, has now got permission from the Indian government to search this restricted area for remains
- The joint Indo-US search expedition, aided by local tribals, will be launched in August and will continue till December this year.
