- Synopsis
- The author of Finding the Few presents more stories of lost airmen and the dedicated detective work done to find them. Mysteries involving missing aircrew span almost the entire twentieth century. Starting with a reappraisal of the famed story of pilot Edward &“Mick&” Mannock, the author of this book highlights the fates of RAF, USAF, and Luftwaffe personnel from bomber, reconnaissance, and fighter crews. Each case is examined with a microscopic and forensic approach worthy of a CSI episode, and evaluates the detective work involved in unraveling these long-unsolved disappearances of lost airmen. In many cases, there is a satisfactory conclusion in which family members can feel some closure—while in others, question marks are left hanging over. These fascinating stories remind us of the heroic ongoing efforts to truly live up to the phrase &“no man left behind.&”Includes photos
