1940 in the skies over Britain was a time of courage, heroism and
extreme danger. Many men gave their lives to keep our island free and
some disappeared into the summer sky with no trace of them ever being
found. This remarkable book records the life of a dozen of these pilots
shot down and killed but who remained missing for decades until diligent
research and searches primarily by the author brought identification to
them and closure to their families. Each case represents a fascinating
human story of humor, drama, love and tragedy; and each one represents a
startling tale of detective work and remarkable coincidences, ofttimes
revealing controversy.
