B-29 #42-63494 500 BG FEB.19, 1945
On a 500BG listing of B-29s assigned to the Group, there was a notation
"2/LT. GEORGE C. ROUSE, JR. AND CREW WERE LOST OVER TOKYO ON FEB.19, 1945. THIS AIRCRAFT WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL JAN. 26, 1969.THE COPILOT’S REMAINS WERE STILL STRAPPED IN HIS SEAT." Does anyone have more information on the discovery of this B-29 in 1969? Japan is fairly densely populated and this isn't a single engine fighter.
