About the Crash
June 1943 saw forty-one heavy bombers lost within the continental United States, including a B-17 that went missing over Wyoming on the night of June 28 while en route overseas for the air war in Europe. The wreckage was not discovered until two years later, when area cowboys came across it in the Bighorn Mountains. The book draws on the U.S. Air Corps accident investigation and other sources to recount the crash, the search and the stories of the men who died.
