The relatives of a US airman who was killed when his bomber ploughed into an English farm have visited the crash site where the tragedy unfolded 77 years ago. Lieutenant William Montgomery (circled left) has been missing since his B-24 Liberator crashed on land near Arundel, West Sussex, in June 1944, but his family has emphasized the significance of visiting the site. They revealed that they visited Lt Mongomery's brother John, who never found out what had really happened. Tracey Kirchoff (right), the great niece of Lt Montogomery, expressed admiration to her late relative and laid flowers on the property. Human remains were also discovered in 2019 and 2021, along with the mangled wreckage. Despite the fact that DNA tests are now being done in the United States, they are almost certainly the remains of Lt Montgomery and Sgt Holoka.
