The remains of William Kiggins, an American pilot who crashed in Brno at the end of World War II, are being returned to the US, over 63 years after his death.  A local woman of 75 who remembered the crash helped researchers find the wreck of his P-51 Mustang plane Miss Betty last year.  After a memorial ceremony in the Moravian capital on Monday, the pilot’s remains will be sent to the US, in line with a request from the United States Embassy in Prague.  A memorial to William Kiggins in the shape of the wing of a P-51 Mustang was erected in Brno in October.
