The remains of a West Virginia pilot killed behind enemy lines during World War II have been identified. Reports cited a statement from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency saying scientists confirmed the identity of U.S. Army Air Forces 1st Lt. Richard W. Horrigan of Chester. Horrigan was a pilot with the 22nd Fighter Squadron, 36th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force, serving in Germany when he died at the age of 24. The statement said he was part of an armed reconnaissance mission in April 1945 and crashed while shooting at enemy planes parked at an airfield, likely due to anti-aircraft fire.
