US mission in India to search for missing Americans from WW II

New Delhi: A specialised identification and recovery teams from the US have arrived here in search of nearly 400 Americans who remain unaccounted for from the World War II, in Arunachal Pradesh.

This will be the first recovery mission conducted by the Defense Prisoners of War/Missing in Action Accounting Agency (DPAA) in Arunachal Pradesh since December 2009.

The majority of the nearly 400 missing Americans are believed to be located in this area, since the main air resupply route from India to China during the World War II flew over the Himalayas on a route which came to be known as "The Hump", a statement by the American Embassy here said.
