As the Air Force separated from the Army August 1st 1947 this was the first crash and fatalities of the Air Force. This book focuses on the crash site of the B-25 Bomber, a first ever interview with a local who was first on the scene and a newly discovered news photo of the crash site, believed to be the only photo available of the historical crash. “When I met Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson in 2007, I found them to be enthusiastic researchers who were energetically pursuing and impartially sifting through the facts about the Maury Island incident. This book is the result of their efforts. It presents new evidence and new analysis, and every reader will find it intriguing and informative.” — Larry Haapanen, Ph.D, the last UFO investigator for the Fourth Air Force.
