Re: Aircrew lost at sea and buried as unknown

I have seen X-Files (burial reports of US unknowns) where a body was found washed up that was in the water for over 4-6 months. Especially if they had a life preserver. A fair amount of them had no head when found. Especially fighter pilots tend to lose their head in a crash, which would explain the lack of ID tags. Plus, the chains were not tight, but allowed the tags to hang around the sternum area. So with submersion in water, they might have slipped off due to wave motion, or from the impact with water.
