ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Nearly 70 years after they died when their crippled bomber slammed into a northern Italian mountain, the two Americans at the controls of the ill-fated warplane are being honored by residents of a village near the crash site. With their airplane severely damaged by anti-aircraft fire before it could complete its bombing run over a rail yard, Remmel and Speer apparently decided not to jettison their bombs as they flew over the nearby village during a desperate effort to gain altitude so the crew could bail out. Remmel was on his 70th mission when his plane was shot down, according to Ben Appleby, an organizer of Sunday's memorial ceremony and co-author of a book on the Maybe's last flight. The ceremony includes the unveiling of a memorial plaque bearing the pilots' names and placing it near the crash site, speeches by local officials, and the opening of an exhibit on the Maybe and the U.S.
