The remains of a World War II sailor returned home to the Bay Area Thursday nearly 79 years after he was killed in action.
The Navy veteran died while flying over the Pacific during a mission against Japanese forces. His remains were finally found in 2019.
In 2019, an organization called Project Recover finally found the remains of the plane just off Malakal Island. On Thursday, his body arrived at San Jose's Mineta Airport. They held a repatriation ceremony to officially transfer the remains. Members of Mitts's family were there to receive him, including his niece.
