NEW DELHI - A missing World War II plane has been identified in India's remote Himalayas nearly 80 years after it crashed with no survivors, following a treacherous search that led to the deaths of three guides.

"This aircraft was never heard from again. It simply disappeared," said Mr Clayton Kuhles, a US adventurer who led the mission after a request from the son of one of those on board the doomed flight. Three guides died of hypothermia at an initial stage of the project while camped out during a September snowstorm.

"All I can say is that I am overjoyed, just knowing where he is. It is sad but joyous," Mr Scherer told AFP by e-mail from New York.
