Other than the fact that his son was also KIA,this is very good news. I watched this search on Nova,and it was very interesting. His daughter was born without ever seeing her father. IIRC correctly he had seen her once just before shipping out to Europe,but she was just an infant and has no memory of it.
Last I heard was they were still looking for the remains of one more of the B-24 crew.
There was also a B-17 that had been missing they discovered after a local diver came up to them in a boat and told them where it was. Nobody in the US military knew where it was. The local diver found it by accident,and when he heard there was an official search team searching the B-24 for remains,he went out of his way to tell them about it and show them where it lies.
The B-17 was basically complete and sunk in shallower water,but they couldn't go in it to look for remains because they didn't have permission from the local government. I'd sure like to hear they got permission and searched it and found remains.
