Summary:
"In May 1962, a plane was blown from the sky over the heartland of America, disrupting the peace of the little towns of Centerville, Iowa, and Unionville, Missouri, and shaking the confidence of airline passengers nationwide. The story was shocking, puzzling, frightening . . . and in following years, was almost completely forgotten. Enfys McMurry has spent countless hours poring through accident investigation reports of the Federal Aviation Agency and FBI, reviewing newspaper accounts, and interviewing those who were there, those who still live in the little towns of Centerville and Unionville and have memories of the horrific events that brought these communities together at a time of crisis"-- Provided by publisher.
