"Through meticulous research, interviews and mountaineering trips to the site, Stekel uncovered the story of these four young men. Final Flight explores their ill-fated trip and the misinformation surrounding it for more than 60 years. The book is a gripping account that's part mystery, part history and part personal journey to uncover the truth of what happened on November 18, 1942. In the process Stekel narrates the young aviator's last days and takes us on their final flight." --from publisher.
