Frozen in Time

JTH's adventure book covered the stories of 4 downed lost planes in Greenland during WWII, the rescue efforts and survival stories, and the modern day expedition to try and retrieve the rescue plane and crew. The crashed planes included a C-53 transport where all crew was lost, a B-17 where the Canadian crew were able to walk to safety, and the B-17 PN9E that is focused on in the book. The crew of the PN9E survived over 4 months of extreme winter conditions due to heroic efforts from a supply plane, dog teams, the PBY Catalina team, and the crashed crashed Grumman Duck. The book goes back and forth between the survival story of the PN9E and the current day harried expedition to retrieve the Grumman Duck rescue plane and it's two occupants. It is interesting to learn about the hash conditions of Greenland as well as the great lengths mankind will extend to retrieve lost ones.
