With the weather worsening, the U.S. military launched a daring rescue mission, sending a Grumman Duck amphibious plane to find the men. . . [this is an] account of these harrowing crashes and the fate of the survivors and their would-be saviors.. . Moving forward to today, Zuckoff recounts the efforts of the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc., led by an indefatigable dreamer named Lou Sapienza, who worked for years to solve the mystery of the Duck's last flight and recover the remains of its crew.. . a blend of mystery, adventure, heroism, and survival."
