You know you've done something right when you're hand carried through miles of dense and remote jungle by local natives, after 60-years, to view for the last time (and the first since it originaly crashed) the remains of the illfated aircraft that crashed and brought you to their little corner of the world and into their lives.

Salutes and prayers to a now forever selfless man.
