Great to hear that an ordinary citizen would take the time to do what our government won't

A colleague sent that to me, and I was with them up to "...the legendary English Royal Air Force..." at which point I'd like to introduce the writer to a Scot or Welshman or two in the RAF. It's British, if you must prefix it.

There's a worthwhile story in there somewhere behind the hyperbole, and some hard questions of analysis and methodology, but clearly a long way beyond the journalist's comprehension.
There are issues over private explorers looking for specific losses, and a temptation to force facts to fit and overlook others. I'm not suggesting anything amiss in the story above specifically, but the superficiality of the reporting does not allow validation of the assumed quality of the research.
A comparative story to show how even dubious claims can get media mileage. No comment on either opinions or the book 'The Bone Man of Kokoda', but there's often more to the story of those who search for fallen comrades than meets the eye or makes a pat story.
