Dr. Ian Spurgeon, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) historian, speaks with family members of U.S. Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Pharis E. Weekley during an identification briefing in Orlando, Florida, Feb. 25, 2023. Weekley was a navigator assigned to the 329th Bombardment Squadron when the B-24 Liberator aircraft on which he was serving was hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire on Aug. 1, 1943. The aircraft then crashed north of Bucharest, Romania and his remains were not identified following the war. Weekley was accounted for on July 12, 2022, nearly 80 years after his unit’s aircraft was attacked. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Jonathan McElderry)
