Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Applying the Power of Partnerships to the Search for America's Missing in Action", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
In the context of underwater forensic archaeology, addressing WWII U.S. Military losses require a complex research process, while the end goal is to recover and identify the remains of unaccounted for individuals, or to otherwise resolve their fate. This project showcases research and excavation activities of one of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) unresolved cases of a B-24 Liberator, Heavy Bomber aircraft that crashed off the coast of Italy during WWII.
