Amazing a second Airman from the same crash is recovered 100 ft from the spot where the remains of another Airman was found 2 yrs earlier.

Its great that they recovered the crew member.

It says an author writing about the first recovered service man found the body...should be a very interesting book.

Looks like an "AT-7" is basically a Beech D-18 modified for AAF navigational training use...
