Description
Carole Lombard, Hollywood's "Queen of Screwball," was just 33 when her life was cut short in a tragic plane crash in 1942. This book presents a fresh look at the events leading up to the crash, as well as the struggles of her husband, Clark Gable, and others to cope with the tragedy. The story of Flight 3 is one of sacrifice, bravery, and loss. On a clear night, a 10-month-old aircraft with two fully functioning engines crashed into a Nevada mountain, killing everyone on board. The investigation into the crash has long been shrouded in mystery, but extensive research has shed new light on the lives of the 21 people on board, including 15 members of the U.S. Army Air Corps. This book tells the story of the people on the plane, the heroic first responders who struggled to perform a miracle rescue, and the heroic efforts to uncover the truth behind the crash.
