Remains of WWII Airman from New York ID’d in South Pacific

Relatives say they were notified by military officials last week that bone fragments found at the crash site on the island of Papua-New Guinea were identified as Sgt. Dominick Licari's. His dog tags were also found and are being returned next week along with the remains.

The 31-year-old from Frankfort, near Utica, was aboard an A-20 Havoc bomber that crashed into a mountain in bad weather in March 1944. Two other A-20s hit the same mountain, killing six U.S. airmen in all.
