Search For Pilot At End In Africa Reunion Tale
Indications rose Saturday that a three year search for an American World War II fighter pilot shot down in Africa may end. Maj. Norman L. Widen of Malmstrom AFB Mont suggests he is the pilot from 1942 Tunis whose wings and plane tag were given by German ace Anton Hafner to Hafner's brother Alfons Hafner who started the hunt in 1958. The two airmen reportedly befriended briefly after the crash and the pilot invited Hafner to Philadelphia after the war as Hafner sought the items once more.
