Plane victims found after long search
March Field, Cal. (UP) –
The bodies of Maj. Gen. Herbert A. Dargue and Capt. James Leavitt, who died with six other Air Force officers and men seven months ago in a plane crash, have been recovered.
Discovery of the bodies left only that of S/Sgt. Stephen Hoffman still missing. The Air Force said the search for his body would continue.
The plane, an Army transport, crashed Dec. 12. It was not located, however, for five months.
