Agreement reached on Burma MIA searches

VFW Magazine, Nov, 2002 by Tim Dyhouse

For the first time, Myanmar (formerly Burma) has agreed to allow U.S. search teams within its borders to look for the remains of World War II MIAs. The agreement will allow teams from the Army's Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii (CILHI) to search four sites where C-47 cargo planes crashed in 1944 and 1945 in northern Burma. The searches will be conducted in early 2003.
