  • 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.
