The Lost Squadron

Hyperion/The Madison Press Ltd., 1994

Two aviation adventurers from Atlanta, along with a team of friends, embark on a quixotic quest to find a squadron of U.S. warplanes lost on the Greenland ice cap in 1942. After an obsessive, decade-long search, the planes are found: entombed 260 feet beneath the surface. With homemade technology and a lot of luck, one rare P-38 fighter — a two-ton airplane with a 52-foot wingspan — is recovered, returned to the U.S. and restored to fly again.

Although the evidence supported Curtis’ claim that he had accidentaly shot his friend’s mother, both boys were sentenced to 20 years in prison. Was Curtis an accomplice or a scapegoat? Did he receive the punishment he deserved or was he the victim of an unfair New Jersey justice system? No Easy Answers is a blow-by-blow account of the brutal crime and its shocking aftermath.
