Summary:

"Both intimate and historical, Miss Fortune's Last Mission is as much about the brave men who fought and died as it is about the survivors who honor their sacrifices. The authors' search to understand the reverberations of the crash of a B-24 Liberator during World War II reveals the lasting effect of loss and the healing power of sharing our stories"--Provided by publisher.
