Fateful Flight of the Lonesome Polecat II

Over the years attempts to locate information were of no avail but the initial bonding of brothers did not diminish. Then in 2000, through a World War II B-17 web site, a summary of the aircraft's missions and a list of the 10 crewmates were discovered.

A four year intensive investigation was set into motion beginning with a shocking conversation with the crewmate who found his wounded brother in the burning aircraft and helped him bail out. Beyond all belief, eyewitnesses were located on a Dutch island that saw Eugene parachute through the mist and also saw his badly damaged B-17 roar over their heads 60 years previous.

"Fateful Flight of the Lonesome Polecat" describes the story of the B-17 crew from its formation to the end of World War II and shares the compelling and emotional search for a missing loved one.
