real life Captain America?

From
CNN:
Two climbers on a Sierra Nevada glacier discovered an ice-encased body believed to be that of an airman whose plane crashed in 1942.
Well, the year's off by three, and I don't think Baron Zemo's HQ was in California, but this sounds eerily similar. I wonder if, when this unidentified airman throws his mighty shield, all those who chose to oppose that shield must yield?
