I thought this site was interesting, even though it's in Italian. These guys are really dedicated to the task of unearthing WWII aircraft (and airmen) remains.

Interesting how deep they have to dig to get to the wrecks.

Pretty neat site! Thanks for sharing. It is bittersweet to see that these pilots and aircraft are being found after so long. Hopefully some family is still around to learn the fate of their lost ancestor.

BTW, I used this site to translate some of the Italian:
