The US military says it lost some 430 Americans in 90 planes in India while they were on missions to resupply China's besieged army in the city of Kunming, desperately trying to hold out against the invading Japanese during World War Two.
The wreckage of six US planes have been found in the jungles of Arunachal Pradesh, giving the US Joint Prisoners of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) Accounting Command (JPAC) a starting point for its first recovery mission in India.
JPAC's commander, Rear Admiral Donna L. Crisp, met Indian defence officials on Wednesday, and said she was hopeful of mounting the expedition before the snows set in 2008.
"We go as a team into the areas to find the remains," said Crisp, adding the Indian military would also help with the search.
She also appealed to Indians in areas where the planes are believed to have crashed to report sightings of any wreckage.
If remains are recovered, the JPAC will conduct DNA tests on the bones to match them with records of the crewmen's relatives. All will be entitled to a burial with military honours at a National Cemetery if relatives wish.
The JPAC has run similar recovery operations in Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, China and several countries in Europe.

RatingI, along with all the other relatives of the "Hot as Hell" crew - Capt. William Swanson, 1st Lt. Irwin Zaetz, 1st Lt. Robert Eugene Oxford, Flight Officer Sheldon Chambers, Staff Sgt. Charles Ginn, Staff Sgt. Harry Queen, Sgt. James Hinson, and Sgt. Alfred Gerrans, Jr. - am most grateful to the Indian and American Governments for this landmark agreement permitting American recovery teams into India to recover the remains of American airmen lost during World War II. We all hope that the recovery operations will proceed with the utmost safety. We also recognize that this achievement could not have been reached without the leadership of several key individuals, namely, India's Ambassador to the United States Ronen Sen, Indian Defence Secretary Vijay Singh, Arunachal Pradesh Governor J. J. Singh, and Arunachal Pradesh MP Tapir Gao.
Too dangerous to the Indian security.Any kind of intervention in North-Eastern region of our country will have very negative impact of Nation's security and defence installations.GOI must refuse any such action even if asked for joint venture.India could do survey at own and if found something of US interest could pass on.Moreover I don't think if USA had anything or any soldier lost in this regin They should try their luck in Vietnam or the countries where they really fought second world war.
FANTASTIC SUGGESTION . HOW ABOUT QUID PRO QUO FOR SEARCHING INDIANS IN U.S . HOW ABOUT PERMOTTING INDIANS TO CHECK ON VOILATIONS IN GITAMO , TORTURE OF NON WHITES ESPECIALLY BLACKS IN JAILS AND PERMITTING TO ARREST BUSH THE MOST MISSING PERSON .AFTER ALL INDIA HAS LOST ALOT DUTRING COLONIAL TIMES SO INCLUDE ENGLAND TOO IN SEARCH ESPECIALLY BUCKINGHAM PALACE WHERE INDIAN TREASURES ROT. HAY BY THE WAY HOW ABOUT SERCHING AND TRYING MISSING TONY BLAIR THE CO MASS MURDERER . INDIA MUST HELP IN THESE ENDEVPURS THAT WILL BRING PEACE AND TRANQUILITY IN WORLD THAN NON EXISTANT SOLDIERS IN JUNGLES. SEARCH VIETNAM AND LAOS FOR THE MURDERED VIETS AND LAOS MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN . THAT WILL HELP U.S FEEL GOOD AND ASK IRAQUIS TO RAPE AMERCA TO CLEAR UR CONCIENCE LEAVE INDIA ALONE. SEAGOVAC
ASTONISHING ARE THE WAYS OF CRAZY NEO CONS . THIS IS A PRETENSE ONLY TO MAP THE INDIAN JUNGLES AND TOP UP THERE FILES . IT IS NAKED ESPIONAGE ALONG WITH THIS SEARCH WILL COME CONVERTORS TO CHRISTIANITY CREATING DISSENSION IN INDIA. IF INDIAN GOVT AGREES TO THIS ABUSRD SUGGESTION THEY SHOULD ASK TO LOOK FOR MISSING INDIANS IN U.S . IN JAILS IN JUMGLES AND HOST OF OTHER PALCES LIKE SWEAT SHOPS ETC . BUT THEN INDIA IS NOT RULED BY NUTS OF THE SAME KIND . SO JUST REFUSE PERMISSION SAGOLINE
The USA generally hides the real intentons.India is in danger from this war0monger.More so,after the CIA,the west abd japan reorted to massive conversion of the indigenous eople to Christainity,creating terror and massacring Hindus.
NOW DONT TELL ME THE UPA IS GOING TO ALLOW THIS NONSENSE ,IF BRITISH, WE CAN UNDERSTAND BUT WHERE IS THE YANKEE CONNECTION WITH INDIAN JUNGLE? THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PLOY TO SET UP CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES DEEP DOWN IN INDIAN JUNGLES TO EXPLOIT THE POOR HINDUS, IT IS ABOUT TIME THE HINDUS REALIZED THIS IS A CONSPIRACY WITH THE HELP OF SONIA, THE ITALIAN CRUISADER
How about scouring your conscience US, for your duties towards poor Tibet now that you have done the political bit towards Muslim Kosovo and Oily Iraq and Kuwait?
