Project Recover is a public-private partnership to enlist 21st century science and technology combined with in-depth archival and historical research in a quest to transform the approaches to underwater search to locate aircraft associated with American servicemen still unaccounted for during wartime, to provide closure to families and recognition for the service members’ service to our country. Eric Terrill was the mission lead for this most recent find in Papua New Guinea. He is also one of the three principal investigators for Project Recover as a whole.
