Biden was conflating it with something else....

On May 14, 1944, an A-20 havoc (serial number 42-86768), with a crew of three and one passenger, departed Momote Airfield, Los Negros Island, for a courier flight to Nadzab Airfield, New Guinea. For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft's nose hit the water hard. Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.
Second Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan entered the U.S. Army Air Forces from Pennsylvania and served in Headquarters, Fifth Air Force. He was the passenger on this Havoc when it was lost. He has not been associated with any remains recovered from the area after the war and is still unaccounted-for. Today, Second Lieutenant Finnegan is memorialized on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.

Biden's uncle was the pilot of a plane that crashed off New Guinea. It crashed in the ocean due to mechanical failure. 1 of the 3 crew members was rescued.
His uncle did disappear near New Guinea, so the story could be embellished that he was eaten by cannibals.
Pilot, or passenger of this A-20? No mention of enemy action.
Or maybe eaten by a great White Whale?
Or saved by Mermaids, who made him their King?
Or was marooned on an island of Lilliputians?
Can't wait for the next episode...
“Embellishment” is a polite understatement where Go Brandon is concerned!
He was the pilot. Apparently crashed due to mechanical failure, not in combat. Both engines failed for unknown reasons. He disappeared in the ocean, and it is actually likely he was eaten by sharks, but not by cannibals.
Biden was conflating it with something else....
Second Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan entered the U.S. Army Air Forces from Pennsylvania and served in Headquarters, Fifth Air Force. He was the passenger on this Havoc when it was lost.
The article states Ambrose was a passenger.
I caught this story earlier. For the life of me, just what does the regime get out of saying this poor guy was eaten by cannibals?
The aircraft had engine failure and went into the drink and most of those aboard died, this is sad. Still it has nothing to do with New Guinea as it never land-crashed.
Our regime and the media have been on a non-stop lying spree ever since Trump first announced he’d run for office. They are not going to stop on their own.
How can anyone with half a brain even consider voting for this bunch?
The pilot of the plane was 1st Lt. Harold R. Prince, as per the linked site. Uncle Ambrose was a passenger.
A Biden is never a chump that dies in the drink as a passenger on anything.
Hail no! A Biden crawls out of the wreck in the steamy jungle to try and save his mates! And, only if he must, he goes down swingin’ at the blood-thirsty savages that want him for dinner!
“....and meanwhile back in The States...”
Passenger according to the DPAA report. One thing for certain is you can always rely on SloJoe to be lying when his lips are moving. For all we know Finnegan might have been the mess officer. Not all officers in aviation units are pilots.
Not pilot.
Passenger.
Courier mission.
A Biden that could be trusted to protect classified info.
Rare.
So Biden is blaming the Blacks for the death of his uncle.?
Grandpa Moses Robinette also had a colorful military career as a glorified farrier in the Union Army, being pardoned by Lincoln for attempted murder..
Story I saw somewhere else said that he was an officer - courier riding as a passenger on the plane.
It's within the realm of possibility bumblin' biden's uncle's body was swept
ashore where cannibals consumed his well salted remains.
Ther eason I asked you xxqqzz was becasue the article clearly says he was the passenger. Your post says “pilot.” It’s possible you had knowledge of the incident from elsewhere. It’s no use asking Joe.
Who would want to eat a Biden? They’re spoiled.
