A letter to Harold Ellis Greenberg's family from the Army in 1948 indicated that the crash site had been found and visited but not investigated. The family now knows this site is 15 miles northeast of Walang, a town in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. This is extremely close to the contested China-India border.
