Publisher's Synopsis
"Failed to Return" is an investigation into the fate of some of the aircraft that disappeared between 1939 and 1945. In each case Nesbit followed the trail to find out just what did happen. He found hitherto undisclosed records, either in Britain or in Germany, and traced many witnesses to the events.;Some of the stories concern public figures. Was it really Rudolf Hess who landed in Scotland or, as others maintain, an impostor? What caused the death of Amy Johnson? Was Glenn Miller really in the aircraft that disappeared in the fog on the way to Paris and what happened to the plane?;Nesbit also investigates the disappearance of aircraft carrying people who were not famous. What happened to Beaufort L 4463 from Nesbit's own squadron? What was the story behind Wellington N 2980, found in Loch Ness in 1976?;Roy Nesbit is an aviation historian and an accredited agent of the Public Records Office on matters of air history. He was a navigator with the RAF in World War II.
