But Ken Fortenberry, an award-winning journalist whose father was the copilot and navigator aboard the ill-fated Boeing Stratocruiser, has devoted nearly sixty years of his life to unraveling this cold-case mystery, and has come to a staggering conclusion. A remarkably researched book packed with history and emotion, Flight 7 Is Missing: The Search for My Father’s Killer is a gripping page-turner that reads like a fast-paced murder mystery. Join the author on his crusade to tirelessly track down every possible lead and eventually expose the person he believes responsible for this tragic crime.
"To we professional pilots routinely flying the oceans of planet earth, the possibility that our loved ones back home might someday be told that our flight is missing is beyond a recurring nightmare.  Author Ken Fortenberry yanks you into the dark heart of such a nightmare as he chases the missing answers to a major airline disaster across the cold trails of six decades, all to answer the key question which has haunted him since his early years: Who killed his father.  This is a must-read!" - Capt.
