Chasing Ghosts

A cooperative American-Soviet Search to recover lost aviation history. Illustrated with over 85 photographs and maps. On April 18, 1942, sixteen U.S. B-25 medium range bombers took of from the aircraft carrier Hornet on a bombing mission with the code name "Shanghai-la." After bombing Tokyo, fifteen crews were forced to bail out over China, or crashed. Only one crew, the sixteenth landed safely--although contrary to orders -- in the Soviet Union. Fearing Japanese reprisal, the Soviets interned the crew (who escaped a year later) and impounded the plane--which is still missing. where did it go?
