  • i am filipino.thank you for liberating our country.

    my grandfather was a guerilla in clark pampanga. maybe he was part of the men who helped you when you where shot down. that would be an honer for me to see and hear you talking about the war.

  • Thank you for your kind comment. Sadly, Lt. Col. Methven, Jr. passed away this year, but he certainly held the Filipino guerillas in high regard for saving his life. Your grandfather was surely a brave man for resisting the Japanese as capture meant certain death.

  • exactly were in the philippines was he shot down?

  • Lt. Col. Methven was stationed on the Fifth Air Force Base on Tanauan, Leyte. The exact area where he was shot down is not known.
