Missing airmen sought -- from WW2
A US team is visiting the remote state of Arunachal Pradesh in north-east India to search for the remains of US pilots who crashed during WWII. . .This is only one part of a long-running and much larger operation, however.It is thought the remains of up to 400 Americans could still be in Arunachal Pradesh, which borders Burma and China.
More than 78,000 Americans are unaccounted for from World War II, with the remains of about 35,000 deemed recoverable. . .From the BBC.There are more than 1,300 individuals missing - primarily from aircraft crashes - in and around the border area between India, Burma and China, an area known to pilots as "the Hump".

My Grandfather was shot down in WW2. He was a pilot for the hundred and first airborn. His name was Robert Saxton. I would love to have some info. on him and the mission or whatever I could find on my Grandfather. His body was never found, nor his plane.
Thank you.
