No Way Out by Steven R Whitby
It was the first and only combat mission for the B-24 Liberator Lady Be Good. On April 4, 1943, she left her base on the North African coast of Libya to bomb the port city of Naples, Italy. She never returned to base. It was not until the spring of 1959 that Lady Be Good was discovered by a BP oil exploration team almost 500 miles deep in the Libyan Desert, virtually intact, with no trace of the crew. What happened to the Lady Be Good is explored in this book. This includes the search for the crew and the subsequent mission to find the two US Army personnel lost during the initial search. The author interviewed personnel who took part in the recovery effort, and has included many unpublished photos taken at the crash site during the first USAF visit in 1959.
"No Way Out is an outstanding addition to the knowledge surrounding the tragedy of LtHatton and his crew and the bomber that has captivated so many aviation enthusiasts the world over." - Nicolas A. Veronico, Air Classic, January 2021
