Description

The Long Way Home: A Journey Into History with Captain Robert Ford In December 1941, a Pan American Airways B-314 flying boat was caught in the South Pacific, forced to make an unplanned flight around the world. Captain Ford and his 10-man crew flew over 31,500 miles in six weeks, avoiding enemy action in their effort to return safely to the United States. This remarkable feat of endurance and skill is a testament to the bravery and determination of Captain Ford and his crew. Their journey was marked by secrecy and radio blackout, as they navigated through treacherous skies to complete their mission. The story of this incredible flight is a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, and a tribute to the men who risked everything to complete their task. With meticulous research and attention to detail, Ed Dover brings this remarkable story to life in "The Long Way Home".
