Papua hikers find 'WWII airman'

BBC News - Sep 03 5:57 PM - Australian hikers have found the suspected remains of a World War II airman hanging from a tree in dense forest in Papua New Guinea.

The moss-covered body appeared to be wearing a harness and goggles.

The discovery was made along the Kokoda Trail, in the east of the country, which was an important battleground during the war.

The Australian Defence Force is preparing to send officials to the scene for further investigations.

A force spokeswoman said it was too early to confirm the nationality of the pilot.

There are goggles and it appears to be caught up in cables, so presumably it is an airman. But he is likely to have come from Australia, Japan or the United States, as all three operated aircraft in the area during the war.

Papua 'remains' are not WWII body

BBC News - Sep 04 9:25 PM - The suspected remains of a WWII airman discovered in a jungle region of Papua New Guinea have turned out to be the moss-covered branches of a tree.

Hikers on the country's Kokoda Trail found what appeared to be the remains of a parachutist tangled in wires and dangling in a tree two weeks ago.

Australian and Japanese forces fought several battles in the area in 1942-3.

The Australian military sent a team to investigate the "body" only to discover it was a branch tangled in vines.
