Flight of the Forgotten - A True Story of Heroism and Betrayal - A Profound Ghostly Encounter

The book "Flight of the Forgotten - A True Story of Heroism and Betrayal" by Mark A. Vance, serves as a living memorial to the Jack B. Ketchum crew of World War II. Their tragic story, censored for years by the U.S. Government, is at last universally accessible; enabling 15 murdered American Airmen the opportunity to share their amazing story with the world. As odd as that may sound, the Jack B. Ketchum crew is the source of the information contained in this true story. Their story is the ultimate ghost adventure.At this time of year, I'm torn between the official anniversary of the crash on June 13th and a desire to acknowledge the loss of 12 other men on June 12th. The explosion on the ground at Prestwick Airport in Scotland was equally senseless and equally deadly as the sabotage that claimed the Jack Ketchum crew. I'm sure no one would argue that there was also plenty of time for the OSS to discover the errors in the false radio report of May 27th that declared the Ketchu
m crew dead to their squadron commander. These errors were subsequently printed in the Stars and Stripes newspaper and are a matter of permanent record.The 66th anniversary of these terrible tragedies is decidedly different however. For the first time since 1945, the story of the Jack B. Ketchum crew has bypassed official censorship and is being shared on a global scale. The events that resulted in the loss of 27 American Airmen on their way home after winning a world war and preserving our way of life are finally available to all. These successes on their behalf are extremely satisfying and I am overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of relief to have accomplished that part of the mission on their behalf.There is after all nothing ordinary about a crew declared dead twice in a two week period that subsequently flies for 90 minutes before exploding in-flight.I have always felt that the story of the Jack B. Ketchum crew was universally important and that their message of life-afte
r-death would resonate with most people, even those not interested in mysteries or aviation. With the benefit of e-book technology, their story is now being shared in over 200 countries and a dozen languages. That makes the 66th Anniversary the most special of all and I hope you will take a moment to consider the Jack B. Ketchum crew on June 13, 2011 and throughout the year. Author FOTF on Twitter
