Default WWII pilot hopes to get his wings

"CONCORD, NH- First Lieutenant Bernerd Harding buried his pilot wings in a German cellar 65 years ago and now he's hoping to get them back.

Harding and several others were captured by German farmers. He buried his pin to help avoid detection.

He's headed to Germany to help locate the farmhouse he buried his pilot wings in."
