The Lost Soldier
Author: Chris J. HartleyPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0811767647
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The Lost Soldier offers a perspective on World War II we don’t always get from histories and memoirs. Based on the letters home of Pete Lynn, the diary of his wife, Ruth, and meticulous research in primary and secondary sources, this book recounts the war of a married couple who represent so many married couples, so many soldiers, in World War II. The book tells the story of this couple, starting with their life in North Carolina and recounting how the war increasingly insinuated itself into the fabric of their lives, until Pete Lynn was drafted, after which the war became the essential fact of their life. Author Chris J. Hartley intricately weaves together all threads—soldier and wife, home front and army life, combat, love and loss, individual and army division—into an intimate, engaging narrative that is at once gripping military history and engaging social history.

While most fans know that baseball stars Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg, and Bob Feller served in the military during World War II, few can name the two major leaguers who died in action. (They were catcher Harry O'Neill and outfielder Elmer Gedeon.) Far fewer still are aware that another 125 minor league players also lost their lives during the war. This book draws on extensive research and interviews to bring their personal lives, baseball careers, and wartime service to light.

Book Description
Over 73000 Americans are still missing from the Second World War. The majority of them will never be found, or recovered. Their remains are entombed in ships, submarines and aircraft wrecks at the bottom of the worldʼs oceans and hostile, remote locations. The rest of them, the ones that were killed during ground combat, or where shot down over land, potentially could be located and recovered. Almost seventy years later, their families still hope and wait. Now, read about the real-life story of twenty-two year old Californian, First Lieutenant Paul W. Mazal. A P-47 Thunderbolt pilot with the 406th Fighter Group, 513th Fighter Squadron, Paul Mazal was shot down by ground fire and killed on 19 March 1945. Sixty years later, on 27 August 2005, his remains were recovered by a team of civilian aviation archaeologist led by the author. By Christmas 2005 Paul had been returned to his family. The Author is currently serving as a Sergeant First Class in the US Army as a Military Intelligence professional. He has deployed to Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kuwait and after serving over nineteen years is currently looking forward to near retirement. He is also a twenty-two year veteran of a marriage which has increased the world population by three. His stepson Lucas, also serves in the US Army. The only child of a British Royal Air Force (RAF) soldier and a German mother, Danny spent his formative years in England and Germany. He developed his passion for archaeology when his retired father, a hobby archaeologist, took him along excavating Roman sites during the mid to late seventies. In 1979, he researched and dug his first crash-site. Since 2004, Danny has been involved in the recovery of eight missing aviators, one of them being the subject of this book. He is the founder of Missing Aviator Research/Recovery Team.

Vanished

Pages : 278
Book Description
From a mesmerizing storyteller, the gripping search for a missing World War II crew, their bomber plane, and their legacy. In the fall of 1944, a massive American bomber carrying eleven men vanished over the Pacific islands of Palau, leaving a trail of mysteries. According to mission reports from the Army Air Forces, the plane crashed in shallow water—but when investigators went to find it, the wreckage wasn’t there. Witnesses saw the crew parachute to safety, yet the airmen were never seen again. Some of their relatives whispered that they had returned to the United States in secret and lived in hiding. But they never explained why. For sixty years, the U.S. government, the children of the missing airmen, and a maverick team of scientists and scuba divers searched the islands for clues. With every clue they found, the mystery only deepened. Now, in a spellbinding narrative, Wil S. Hylton weaves together the true story of the missing men, their final mission, the families they left behind, and the real reason their disappearance remained shrouded in secrecy for so long. This is a story of love, loss, sacrifice, and faith—of the undying hope among the families of the missing, and the relentless determination of scientists, explorers, archaeologists, and deep-sea divers to solve one of the enduring mysteries of World War II.
