When young Anthony Korkuc's plane was shot down over Germany in February of 1944, his family thought he was gone forever only to find out in 1995 that his remains rested at Arlington National Cemetery. This discovery launched Korkuc's nephew, the author of this book, on a quest to discover how his uncle's remains came to Arlington and to try to reconstruct the last days of the young ball turret gunner and the circumstances of his death. Here he describes his investigations, at once presenting a portrait of a B-17 bomber crew during World War II and demonstrating to others how to go about conducting such research.
