The Searchers

and their endless quest for lost aircrew in the Southwest Pacific

Plot

Product Description At the end of WWII, the fate of a thousand missing Australian airmen hung in the balance. In their quest to bring home stories and sometimes remains of downed aircrew, searchers covered countless miles by air, sea, and foot through trackless country and isolated pockets of armed Japanese soldiers. They discovered heroes who walked out of the wilderness, and found evidence of those who perished in crashes, by starvation, or at the hands of Japanese soldiers. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c.
