70 years after plane crash, remains of WWII airman identified in South Pacific

The Americans have been very carful to bring home each and every one of their fallen around the world, whenever possible. Something very similar happened to a family member of my wife, who went down in Holland in a Wellington and was not found until decades later. We found him buried in a Commonwealth cemetery in Germany, where he was re-located to, while doing an internet search on his name. The family was never notified, apparently. I guess that the trail was too cold.
