Incredible story that needs to be told.

In April 1943 an American B-24 Liberator bomber crashed mysteriously in a remote region of New Guinea, adding to the list of bombers that had gone down in clear wather and under no hostile action. As a U.S. Army Air Force pilot and operations officer stationed at Port Moresby, New Guinea, Major Ed Imparato and six other men were asked to perform a unique mission - to determine the cause of the crashes. This is a very riviting story of how they risked their own lives facing hostile cannibal natives, rugged terrain, exhausting heat and treacherous rivers to solve this mystery thereby saving the lives of countless pilots and crewmen.
