Patterson's Volunteers

In 1945 a squadron of Mustangs led by Colonel George Patterson flew over the icy wastes of Greenland on their way back to America--and vanished. And for fifteen summers after that a strange American returned to search for the missing planes. Then he, too, disappeared. The edge-of-your-seat excitement in the flying sequences, the cruel beauty of the Arctic, the strange, tough world of international ferry pilots can only be captured by someone who has been there himself. John Smith was a professional pilot for twenty years, first in the RAF, then as a civilian charter pilot.
