There are no details on the crash and there were no other known Americans on the aircraft. SSG Green and A1C Nance’s remains were never found. It is speculated that the pilot flew the aircraft into the ground. The area where the the plane was thought to have crashed, was known for its low cloud banks and he was a dense jungle mountaneous area.
