After 80 Years, Missing American Airman from WWII Finally Identified by Scientists

The remains of Franklin P. Hall, an American airman who was shot down over France during World War II, have been identified after nearly 80 years. Hall was the left waist gunner on a B-24D Liberator when it was attacked by German air forces, and his remains were recovered and buried in a French cemetery. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has accounted for over 83,000 Americans since its establishment in 1973.
