The Last
Season
This book is about a Sequoia and Kings Canyon Park Ranger who disappeared in the High Sierra in 1996 and the extensive search for him that followed. While the focus of this well written book is not about missing aircraft the author does discuss the story of the Consolidated B-24E that vanished over the High Sierra in December 1943 and how difficult it was to locate that crash site despite years of searching. The Last Season provides the reader an understanding and a sense of how the vast and rugged wilderness can seemingly swallow a large aircraft as well as a veteran ranger of the back country. The stories of the missing haunt us, we need to know their fate, and this book does a fine job of engaging the reader in this enthralling mystery. (G. Pat Macha) |

Fatal Army Air Forces Aviation
Accidents in the United States 1941-1945 Published by McFarland Publishing Box 611, Jefferson, North Carolina 28640, Phone orders: (800) 253-2187. Softcover three volume set, 7x10, 2006, 1336 pages includes appendices, notes, bibliography, and index. $195 for the complete set or $75 each individual volume. Anthony Mireless obtained the microfilm for every fatal USAAF aircraft accident in the continental United States and wrote a crash summary for each one including location, aircrew names, and probable cause if known. While there are no photographs the unique content makes this research work a must for students of WWII, aviation history, and those with an interest in aircraft archaeology. The appendices at the back of volume three include; accident statistics, Army Air Force Stations in the U.S. 41-45, crashed aircraft by manufacturer including serial numbers, location index by state, and name index of those who died. Few people realize that more United States military aviators and aircrew lost their lives in routine training, ferrying, and testing of aircraft here in the U.S. than were lost in combat! This book does an outstanding job of remembering those who lost their lives here at home. It is an essential reference for relatives tracing the fates of loved ones. Reviewed by G. Pat Macha |
