Summary "On February 18, 1944, a B-24 Liberator bomber vanished while on a training mission over upstate New York. The pilot and seven crew were presumed dead after the initial search spanning Lake Ontario, the Tug Hill Plateau, and the Adirondacks, yet their final hours and ultimate resting place remain a mystery to this day"-- Provided by publisher.
