ABOUT
An illustrated history of the amazing recovery of a fleet of World War II warplanes, frozen in Greenland for 50 years.
In July 1942 a squadron of brand-new American warplanes desperately needed by the Allied war effort was flying to England via Greenland and Iceland crash-landed on Greenland's vast glaciers. The crews were evacuated safely, but the aircraft had to be left behind.
Nearly forty years later, Pat Epps and Richard Taylor, two Atlanta-based aviation enthusiasts, learned of the lost squadron, Epps and Taylor located the planes - lying 260 feet below the surface and resolved to dig them out. This celebrates the spirit of adventure and the perseverance of the members of the Greenland Expedition as they bring one of the P-38s of the lost squadron home to fly the skies once again.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
