    Lt. Jose Pepe Gozar- Philippine Aviator Hero


    ...... Lt. Jose "Pepe" P. Gozar, was born in Calapan, Oriental Mindoro, on April 8, 1918; son of Juan Gozar and Calixta Cangco.
    He completed his elementary schooling and graduated as salutatorian from the Mindoro High School in March, 1936.

    He enrolled at the University of the Philippines College of Commerce and worked as a student assistant in the College. After

    completing the required units, he enlisted in the Air Corps, Philippine Army, in April, 1938; entered the Flying School in October,

    1938 and graduated in 1940. He served as instructor in the Flying School at Zablan Air Field until the outbreak of the war on
    December 8, 1941.

    With Captain Collin Kelly and Col. Jesus Villamor, he received a citation from Gen. Douglas MacArthur for "his display of courage

    and leadership," for shooting down two Japanese bombers during the war. Together with a friend, also from the Air Corps, Lt.
    Gozar joined the army in Bataan and Corregidor for the last stand of the Philippine Army. He escaped the infamous "Death

    March"; tried to reach Mindanao with the hope of reaching Australia by any means of transportation*. The Japs placed a fabolous

    price on his head as an army aviator...unsurrendered. At Bacolod, Negros Occidental, he had misunderstandings with the guerillas
    who suspected him to be a Japanese spy.

    Sending danger and liquidation, he left on a sailboat with two friends. Caught by storm on the open sea, he abandoned the little
    craft and sam to the shore with one of his companions. That was the last heard of him as related by his companion who stayed in
    the boat and survived. . . . as told by Virgilio G. Gozar, Calapan, Or. Mindoro, cousin of Lt. Jose Pepe Gozar.

    Note*- Unverified reports says that Jose Gozar is to fly back from Austrialia, as directed by MacArthur piloting the P-51 Mustang,
