Finding the Fallen: Outstanding Aircrew Mysteries from the First World War to Desert Storm Investigated and Solved

9 7/8” x 6 7/8”, 192 pages, many black and white illustrations, detailed appendices, bibliography. The logical successor to the highly acclaimed Finding the Few and Finding the Foe, this new work covers a selection of similar mysteries involving missing aircrew and spanning almost the entire twentieth century. Starting with a reappraisal of the Mannock affair, the author highlights the fates variously of RAF, USAF, Luftwaffe personnel from bomber, reconnaissance and fighter crews. Each case is examined with a microscopic and forensic approach worthy of Silent Witness, and evaluates the detective work involved in unravelling these long-unsolved disappearances of lost airmen. In many cases there is a satisfactory conclusion with ‘closure’ achieved - although some question marks are left hanging unanswered over other equally fascinating cases. Hb in price-clipped dw, upper corners bumped, otherwise a very good copy.
