The remains have been identified as those of a gunner killed when the badly damaged aircraft crashed into the sea in 1943.
Archaeological divers have recovered human remains from the wreck of a U.S. bomber that crashed near the Mediterranean island of Malta in May 1943.
The wreck now lies about a mile off Malta's southernmost point, about 190 feet beneath the water's surface. The site is deep for scuba divers, so the recovery team maximized their time by using breathing gases with more helium and oxygen than normal and"rebreather" technology — equipment that absorbs carbon dioxide and recycles other gases. But even with these measures they were limited to working just 45 minutes a day on the wreck, and the excavation to recover Newman's remains took two months of diving — one in 2022 and another in 2023, Gambin said.
