The Los Angeles Times profiles an effort by servicemembers and an anthropologist to excavate the site of an April 9, 1944, crash of a B-24D Liberator in Mojave, Calif.—a crash that claimed all 10 Army Air Forces crew members. Amateur archeologists uncovered the first remains from the site in 2005. The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, wrapped up its investigation last month, sending the commingled remains to their lab for the identification process.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
