Just in the news. A P51 on the border of France and Belgium was just discovered in a farmers field. The remains of the pilot still inside! This is unreal. They found dog tags on him but they said that pilots often carried the tags of friends. My hope is that he will receive the honor that he deserves.

Was it in a peat bog or something? I'm amazed it's gone this long in a farmers field without being noticed...

That's amazing!

Where did you learn about this? (IOW, where can we get more info.)
