I first thought they were going to go looking for the crews and planes that made up “The Aluminum Highway” - C-46s and C-87s (B-24 cargo var.) - that went down flying “The Hump”.

Having visited a few areas in that region, I have a feeling that many of those will be lost forever, unless some peasant accidentally stumbles upon them. Just the logistics of trying to get a body out of some of those places is unimaginable.
