Dear all,
I would like to annouce that guys from the department of history of the Moravian Museum found wrecks of the P-51B near the city of Brno, Czech Republic, and some remains of the pilot, 2/Lt William L. Kiggins of the 31st Fighter Group, 15th USAAF, who was shot down while strafing a railroad station nearby on October 11, 1944.

Thanks for posting this.

Also thanks to those who found and are sending him home. All the missing on both sides deserve that.
