Remains of WWII airman from NY identified in South Pacific The remains of a WWII airman have been identified and will be flown back to his hometown in New York nearly 70 yrs after his plane and 2 others failed to return to their base in the South Pacific. Sgt. Dominick Licari was 31 when his A-20 Havoc bomber crashed into a mountain in Papua-New Guinea on March 13, 1944. After 2 yrs of searches, the military presumed Licari to be dead, the Utica Observer Dispatch reported. DNA samples provided by relatives matched those of Licari, whose remains were discovered in 2012 amid overgrown jungles, according to the report.
