What a great story, I hope it has a follow up story off the actual visit and recovery of his pilot wings!!!!!

This story was on the national news (ABC) this weekend.
He did not find the wings.

William, thanks for the update. I missed the story on ABC; I was hoping he would find his wings.

Hey all, would we happen to have anyone on this board who lives in Germany that could possibly visit that village and sweep a coil in some of those cellars? I would very much like to see this man get his wings back.
