Maybe 4 years ago on the old WIX forum an ex-Air Force type posted a note about a possible B-10 site in Alaska, and he was asking for any info about it. No one replied. His story was that at his base there was a newspaper clipping pinned up with a story and a photo of a B-10 that had bellied in on top of a mountain in the WW2 timeframe. The clipping said the aircraft could still be found sitting there. Definitely an interesting lead if someone was to research the records for B-10's lost in that area.
