China on Tuesday handed over remains of U.S. airmen found along WWII Hump Route, a vital air corridor over the Himalayas that became a lifeline for Allied supplies supporting China's resistance against Japanese aggression from 1942 to 1945, where more than 1,000 Chinese and American aircrew members lost their lives.

The airmen's identities have yet to be established. After the remains reach the United States, the DPAA will conduct DNA testing, examine historical evidence, and compare military records. Families will be notified only after identification is confirmed.

China and the United States have cooperated in searching for American military personnel missing during WWII since the 1970s. Both Chinese authorities and civilian groups have contributed to those efforts.
