The author describes the search for his MIA brother Eugene Darter who after carring him around on a pillow, flew off to England in WWII to fly bombing missions over Nazi Europe. Eugene and his crew were shot down and vanished over Bremen, Germany in December 1943 wth little more known about their fate until January 2000 when an Internet search revealed web sites that contained crew names and home towns. Further searching discovered three crewmates of Eugene who revealed some of the shocking story. Further investigation at the National Archives and in the UK and the Netherlands revealed more and more informtion until one day, an eye witness was found who saw Eugene come by parachute through the fog and splash down just off the Texel Island coast.... More investigation revealed the fate of the other crew memebers and located their families. The discovery of a piece of the B17 on the beach just before a memorial for the crew in May 2007 was called a "message from beyond". The book tells of the 10 crew members and how they dealt with the intense combat and injuries and death in the air war over Europe during WWII.
