The C54D-DC airplane — a military version of the WWII-era Douglas DC-4 aircraft — crashed outside Fairbanks Tuesday. No survivors were found. When asked if he could go back and extract the overwhelmed Marines from Guadalcanal, the 22-year-old Munro reportedly gave a confident, “Hell, yeah!” The incident marks the end of a week-long pause of reported Houthi attacks. The move is a nod to the near-daily battles that Navy destroyers have fought with Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen since October. A new report on the 2021 airport bombing in Afghanistan which killed 13 U.S. troops suggests the assault may have involved more than one attacker.
