It turns out Domanig knew the site well. In fact, he had visited it many times as a child in the 1950s until he spotted what may have been human remains. In May 2012, Frank went back to the site, pulled back the moss and found bits and pieces of the crashed plane. “They still had the ash on them, still burnt,” he tells Ruane. “All of the older pine trees around the site had scars on the trees from when the plane was burning and the .50- caliber rounds popped off and hit the trees.” [Goosebumps at first on right side of body including tingling, then certain parts of body incl. along lower spine-extr. front Int. 9/19/2022]][10/31/2022-VERY strong goosebumps again going back over this article on Dickson] Holoka, John Fox News 2023/03/27 With World War II airman's remains found, relative finally 'has closure' for whole family Sgt.

Although Holoka's siblings have now passed, Levatino said it was always unsettling to him that they never had concrete answers about what happened to their "Johnny." Then, in 2017, "out of the blue," his family received a long-awaited call…In 1944, Sgt. John Holoka, age 25, was serving during World War II in the U.S. Army Air Corps when his family was informed that he died in the line of duty. The family, based in Cresson, Pennsylvania, was given no details of his death — and for many decades, they tried to obtain information about what happened. On June 22, 1944, a B-24H Liberator was shot down near Arundel, West Sussex, killing three of the 10 men of the crew, the Department of Defense reported.
