Over 70 years ago, a U.S. Army plane was headed for India on a supply mission. It never arrived, and military officials had no way of pinpointing where it went down. signs of the mission were lost until 2006, when a hiker saw a wing and panel sign inscribed with the bomber’s name. In 2015, the U.S. Defense Department investigated the crash site. It discovered the remains of 1st Lt. Robert Eugene Oxford. On Thursday, Oxford will be returned home and laid to rest this weekend. He will have full military honors in his hometown of Concord, Georgia.
