| IRS990/Desc | 0 | During 2016, the BentProp Project team launched its global expansion based on the belief that we can take on global pursuit of Missing Americans because of the knowledge and experiences we have gained to date as well as because of our expanded composite expertise through our partnership with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and University of Delaware. Our process: Research, Search, Repatriate and Educate on a worldwide basis was executed in 6 expeditions to England, New Caledonia, @ Palau trips, the Solomon Islands and Tinian. We also hired a full-time researcher to assist in developing the appropriate search to maximize our effectiveness in the field.DURING 2016 XX DISCOVERIES WERE AS FOLLOWS: ONE TBM AVENGER WAS DISCOVERED/RECOVERED AND A FLAG CEREMONY HELD TO HONOR THE CREW. PIECES OF ANOTHER AVENGER WERE LOCATED AND OTHER EXPORATIONS ON LAND AND BY SEA WERE CONTINUED. |
