An amazing and touching story about the search for a WWII pilot killed in a Japanese prison camp:
World War II Pilot's Death at Japanese Camp Captivates Family, Historian
Marcy Hannigan traveled to the jungles of Rabaul in New Guinea to find out what truly happened to her uncle, Lt. Mike Zanger.
A pilot during WWII, he collided with another plane in mid-air and became a prisoner of war, dying at the hands of the Japanese military.
The mystery of his fate brought together historian Henry Sakada and Zanger's family.
A great story in time for Memorial Day. Video here:

RIP Lt.Zanger. Your family never forgot you, and neither should we.
