A U.S. Army soldier and volunteer, left, from Royal Air Force Molesworth, England, along with a UK military veteran from Operation Nightingale, work together sifting soil as they search for any sign of remains from a B-17 Flying Fortress and its crew during a U.S. Defense Missing in Action/Killed in Action recovery operation Sept. 19, 2023. The World War II aircraft– “Little Boy Blue” – crashed July 19, 1944, in East Anglia while on its way to bomb a ball-bearing factory and other industrial complexes in Schweinfurt, Germany. Eighty years later, July 19, 2024, U.S. Airmen from Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, attended a memorial ceremony and laid a wreath to honor the crewmembers who perished that day.
