Vanishing Point
In Vanishing Point
, award winning journalist and author Tom Wilber pieces
together the largely forgotten story of the bomber,
Getaway Gertie , and an eclectic
group of enthusiasts who have spent years searching for
it.
At the height of World War II, a B-24 Liberator bomber vanished
with its crew while on a training mission over upstate New York.
The final hours and ultimate resting place of pilot Keith Ponder
and seven other US aviators aboard the plane remain mysteries to
this day. The tale is at once a compelling instance of loss on the
World War II American home front and a more extensive, largely
unreported history. Ponder-a 21-year-old from rural Mississippi-and
his crew were tragically unexceptional casualties in the monumental
effort to recruit and train an air force en masse to counter the
global conquest of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. More than
fifteen thousand American airmen and, in some cases, women burned,
crashed, or fell to their deaths in stateside training accidents
during the war-their lives and stories shuffled away in piles of
Air Force bureaucracy.
The forgotten story of Getaway Gertie was originally
inspired by summer evenings around the campfire on the shores of
Lake Ontario, where parts of the plane have washed up. Building on
those campfire tales, Wilber deftly connects myth with fact and
memory with historicity. The result is a vivid portrait of the
forgotten soldier of the home front and a new take on the meaning
of wartime sacrifice as the last survivors of the Greatest
Generation pass away.
