Remains found in the wreckage of a B-24 Liberator discovered in New Guinea have been identified as the body of Army Air Forces bombardier Charles “Buddy” Feucht, a 24-year old airman who disappeared during a 1943 mission over the Pacific in search of Japanese ships. A hunter in New Guinea discovered the wreckage in 2002 and turned over remains to the US embassy. According to the Virginian-Pilot, Feucht’s sister—Fern Lord—who is now 83 provided blood for a DNA test.
As the Space Force prepares to field new fleets of satellites that can track moving targets in the air and on the ground, it’s working to ensure it has the organizational structures in place to onboard and operate those systems.
