They are not
forgotten.
History Flight is the world’s most successful private MIA search and recovery organization. We research. We recover. We repatriate.
The work in motion
A view from the mission.
We do the work...we find the fallen...Because it matters.
A promise measured
in homecomings
Every name has a story. Every recovery answers questions families have carried for generations. History Flight honors their service by never giving up the mission to bring them home with dignity.
Read recovery stories →What the work is measured by
Answers, not activity.
Many organizations can describe the scope of their work. The clearest measure of progress is the number of service members recovered and officially identified, because that is when a family receives an answer.
Across sites searched, History Flight has achieved a 93% return on investment. It is a level of return few people would expect from their own retirement savings, measured here in recovered and identified service members.
Research
We investigate records, missions, and leads.
Recover
We locate and recover service members with care.
Repatriate
We return heroes to the honors they earned.
The work behind the promise
Science, history, and care in the field.
Research, recovery, and repatriation come together on every mission.
