Ottawa airman’s remains to be buried

Maxwell, Neb.- Burial services with full military honors are planned today for the remains of six World War II airmen, including those of an Ottawa, Kan., man.

The men were part of a nine-plane formation attacking Rabaul’s Vunakanau airfield in New Guinea on Jan. 20, 1944, when their B-25C plane was hit by ground fire. The plane went into an inverted spin and crashed, killing all aboard.

In 1949 the skeletal remains were recovered from the crash site, but no identifications were made. In 1983 a team from the Army Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii traveled to the site and recovered additional bone fragments. The fragments were sent to the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory.

Among the remains are those of 2nd Lt. Kenneth R. Hough, of Ottawa. The service will be at Fort McPherson National Cemetery.
