Albert Franz, now 80, journeyed back to Guimaras, hoping to salvage the wreckage of his Douglas A-20 bomber plane named "Bug Eyes" which crashed off the island-province, and to meet the natives who helped him and his mate.

Franz and his family arrived in Guimaras last Wednesday and began visiting the areas where helpful Filipino guerrillas and Guimaras folk hid him and his gunner, Sgt. Eugene Stranz, for at least 15 days in January 1945 before they were rescued and returned to their unit in Leyte.
