A VANISHED BOMBER. A LEGENDARY SURVIVOR. A SEARCH THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE.

Lost Beyond the Horizon pulls back the curtain on the forgotten air–sea hunt that followed, exposing the terror, courage, and staggering uncertainty that defined one of World War II’s most desperate rescue missions. This is the chapter history overlooked: a moment when technology failed, the ocean ...

Unmatched US industrial capacity enabled the design and construction of large numbers of highly capable carriers, their ...
