Missed Landing oleh Hallett German

This book is inspired by the transatlantic solo ballooning/sailing efforts of the 1960s and 1970s. In this alternative history recast at some uncertain future date, the "crossing curse" is still in effect
and no one had been successful yet in completing this feat.

The three Calvez brothers try to reach Europe as part of fulfilling their parents' dream. However, when success is in their grasp, they disappear in broad daylight never to be heard again. What happened to them is an intensive investigation to separate the myths of family stories with the dark secrets of the elusive truth.

A tale of adventure, mystery, daring, and trying to succeed against overwhelming odds.
