#1 New York Times bestseller! Frozen in Time is a gripping true
story of survival, bravery, and honor in the vast Arctic wilderness
during World War II, from the author of New York Times bestseller
Lost in Shangri-La. On November 5, 1942, a US cargo plane slammed
into the Greenland Ice Cap. Four days later, the B-17 assigned to
the search-and-rescue mission became lost in a blinding storm and
also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on board survived, and the
US military launched a daring rescue operation. But after picking
up one man, the Grumman Duck amphibious plane flew into a severe
storm and vanished. Frozen in Time tells the story of these crashes
and the fate of the survivors, bringing vividly to life their
battle to endure 148 days of the brutal Arctic winter, until an
expedition headed by famed Arctic explorer Bernt Balchen brought
them to safety. Mitchell Zuckoff takes the reader deep into the
most hostile environment on earth, through hurricane-force winds,
vicious blizzards, and subzero temperatures. Moving forward to
today, he recounts the efforts of the Coast Guard and North South
Polar Inc. - led by indefatigable dreamer Lou Sapienza - who worked
for years to solve the mystery of the Duck's last flight and
recover the remains of its crew. A breathtaking blend of mystery
and adventure Mitchell Zuckoff's Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of
Survival and a Modern Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II is also
a poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personnel and
a tribute to the everyday heroism of the US Coast Guard.
