A radio broadcast at 5 o'clock Wednesday brought the news that the wrecked transport plane over India on which FO Philo Goodrich is believed to have been a passenger had at last been found with all of the forty passengers and crew of four dead.
The long search ended when the plane and passengers were located in a snow bank, but their removal was not immediately possible due to the terrain and deep snow.
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Goodrich, parents of the boy were notified November 8 that the plane en route to the costal embarkation of Karachi, had been missing since November 3.
Philo had made more than one hundred and five flights over the "hump" as a pilot, but it was assumed that he was a passenger enr route to the coast where he would have been sent back to the United States.
