Henry Donald Mitchell of Harmon, Ark., crash-landed in a deeply wooded area near Waldegg, Austria, after a flight sweep to Vienna with the 48th Fighter Squadron. Ever since then, his younger brother Bob Mitchell of Fort Smith has wondered what exactly happened that day. This week, new hope came by email from the U.S. Department of POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
