The United States government is still searching for around 200 Americans who died in Croatia during World War II.
And now, it’s possible that at least one of those soldiers has been found.
Approximately 130 feet below the surface of the Adriatic Sea lie the remains of the Tulsamerican plane, the last B-24 Liberator bomber model built near the end of the war. It crashed near Vis Island — an important Ally airbase — in 1944.
Members of the Croatian Defense Ministry and the National Parks Service Submerged Resource Center searched for 17 years before finding the plane’s remains in 2010.
They knew that three members of the aircraft’s ten-person crew died in the crash, but they’re still unsure which soldier (or soldiers) they found this month.

New Jersey’s Liberty Hall Museum is about to have a pretty rowdy party.
Or, at least, they could after having discovered more than 90 bottles and demijohns (aka old-timey bottles) of wine behind a Prohibition-era wall and locked wooden cage in their cellar.
And not just any wine! Extremely rare Madeira wine dating back to as early as 1769.
