DescriptionFred Hargesheimer Visits New Britain.jpg
English: In this photo provided by Geoffrey Heard, Fred Hargesheimer visits with pupils of the Airmen's Memorial School in Ewasse on Aug. 2, 2004, during a return visit to the southwest Pacific island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea. As a World War II U.S. Army pilot, he was shot down over the Japanese-occupied island and was protected by villagers for months. In gratitude, he later built this and another school, libraries and a clinic, and he and his wife taught island children in the 1970s.
