Description
On May 27, 1944, U.S. Army Air Forces Lt. Frank Fazekas crashed in French Flanders. His remains were never found, so he was listed as MIA. During the summer of 2016, a collaborative team attempted to find the wreckage of the plane and Fazekas’s remains. The presenters will share stories of sleuthing the exact location of the plane, finding probable bone material, and determining the next steps to confirm whether the remains were those of Fazekas.
