WWII Airman's Remains ID'd
The remains of a Tyrone man missing in action since his cargo plane went down in Burma during World War II have been identified.
Clarence Frantz was 24-years-old when his C-47A Skytrain left India on May 23, 1944, to resupply Allied forces near Myitkyina, Burma.
Frantz and the six other airmen will be buried with full military honors July 15 at Arlington National Cemetery.
Back in 1996, the Defense Department identified Staff Sergeant Anthony "Bib" DeLucia of Bradford, who died in August of 1944 when his B-24 Liberator crashed into a mountainside in South China.
