Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command recovery team left Austria last week after not finding human remains at the site of a B-17 bomber shot down by German fighters on May 10, 1944. The team, which plans to return, reports that during the recovery effort they received helpful information on the B-17 from Harold Dwyer, a World War II B-17 pilot and the younger brother of 1st Lt. Stanley Dwyer, the pilot of the crashed B-17. Harold Dwyer and family were at the site to erect a memorial stone during a service Aug. 27. Of the 10 crew members aboard the crashed aircraft, Stanley Dwyer and his gunner Sgt. John Boros did not bail out.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited the site of U.S. Space Command’s future home Dec. 12 and endorsed the move to establish the headquarters in Alabama after years of political back and forth.
