A diplomat and Malay speaker posted to Jakarta, Surabaya and Kuching, Heimann tracked down the Borneo side of this extraordinary tale of 11 young American airmen shot down over Kalimantan in WWII -- and the Australian pilots, missionaries and, especially, the Dayak villagers who helped them to survive and evade capture by the Japanese.
