VANISHED! Mysterious Disappearances

Hardback. Reprint. Each year in Britain alone, 25,000 people 'disappear'. 90% are found, but what of the 2,500 who are unaccounted for? Have they simply vanished into thin air? Multiplied on a global scale, it is clear that in the 10-yrs previous to this book being published, there were 100,000s of unexplained disappearances. The author investigates a broad selection of cases, from the famous such as Lord Lucan and Glenn Miller to the less well known such as Raymond Maufrais, who vanished in the South American jungle, and Bill Lancaster, whose biplane was last seen over the Sahara desert in 1933, on an attempt at the speed record for a flight from England to Cape of Good Hope. Also contains accounts of mass disappearances. Profusely illus. + Further Reading. 159pp. 8vo. h/back. Nr. F. in Vg+ dw.
