Hangar Talk: Gifts from a Glacier
On November 22, 1952, American soldiers boarded a C-124 Globemaster aircraft at McChord AFB, Washington. The aircraft was bound for Anchorage, Alaska, and crashed enroute to that location. A rescue or recovery was deemed too expensive by the military, and these men were left to the Alaskan wilderness. Finally, sixty years later, their fate was revealed to their loved ones and the world.
Please join us at the AMC Museum on December 2, 2:00 p.m. for a presentation by Ms. Tonja Anderson-Dell, author of the book Gifts from a Glacier: The Quest for an American Flag and 52 Souls describing what a search team at the crash site ultimately discovered and her journey to learn the secrets of this disaster.
This is a FREE presentation as part of the AMC Museum’s educational outreach program. Donations are appreciated. Reservations are not required but seating is limited. For additional information, please call (302) 677-5942.
Autographed books will be available for purchase immediately following the presentation.
The military search for these airmen continues under Operation Colony Glacier.
