Bad Boy brother’s plane is found

Finnish and Estonian newspapers report that the wreckage of a civilian airliner shot down by the Russians on June 14, 1940 has been found at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

The plane had been flying from Talinn to Helsinki. Among those on board was Henry William Antheil, a US Embassy official in Helsinki and brother of the composer George Antheil, self-styled Bad Boy of Music.
