About the Book
Vanished In Valor unravels the true story of Staff Sergeant Eugene F. Darter, a crew member in the esteemed 8th Air Force during World War II. Originally recruited by the US Navy in 1931 to become an undercover investigator of subversive activities, he later went on to become a private detective investigator and then joined the Army Air Force war effort in 1942. During his last furlough home, he formed a deep bond with his younger brother, Michael, before heading to the bloody World War frontlines. In 1943 a fierce battle raged over Nazi-occupied Europe, and every day young airmen faced great risk of injury and death. Eugene and his crew embarked on a perilous mission that led to injuries and imprisonment of seven (POW), and the mysterious disappearance of three who never returned at the end of the war (MIA), including Eugene.
