STORY UPDATE: WWII Airman Lost in 1942 Crash Identified

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, 2007 -- The Associated Press reports hikers have discovered the remains of a man believed to be a missing World War II airman atop a Sierra Nevada glacier.

Authorities say the human remains were found in a high alpine region of Kings Canyon National Park on Wednesday. They were located about 100 feet from where climbers spotted the ice-entombed body of another World War II-era airman in October of 2005.

Military anthropologists will analyze the body, which they believe could correspond to one of three men flying in the area when their AT-7 navigational plane disappeared after takeoff from a Sacramento airfield on Nov. 18th, 1942.
