'Mustang Ace' did what he had to do during World War II
Robert Goebel shot down 11 German planes during WWII but he never forgot the one flier whose parachute didn't open.
Goebel tracked down the German fighter group the pilot had flown with and found out his name.
Goebel wrote a letter to his surviving niece a few months ago, apologizing for the pain he had caused her family. She wrote back in German: Both you and Herbert were trying to do your duty.
