Book Description
On a summer evening, a Tokyo-bound airliner departs Los Angeles, but never reaches its destination. Vanishing without a trace off of coastal Alaska, the world is left to wonder the fate of 239 passengers and crew. Countless theories abound, but for lack of any obvious explanation, the event soon becomes the most confounding aviation mystery since the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. For Kevin Bailey, an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, the loss of the aircraft is deeply personal, and he vows to stop at nothing to find out what happened.

Silent Wings at War
Author: John L. Lowden
Publisher: Smithsonian Books (DC)
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
The pilots were known as "suicide jockeys" and the aircraft they flew were called "flak bait." Towed behind modified bombers or transport aircraft, Allied combat gliders were used in some of the riskiest missions of World War II, landing miles behind enemy lines with specially trained assault forces. In "Silent Wings at War," John L. Lowden combines his own recollections with those of fellow veterans to create a vivid, gritty, jocose memoir of war as he and other glider pilots and their passengers knew it. These true tales of courage, as well as command blunders, make a substantial contribution to WWII literature.
