The last great mystery of World War I has been solved. Drawing from more than two thousand pages of unpublished material, archeological digs in France and dozens of interviews with the descendents of those involved, The Stand: The Final Flight of Lt. Frank Luke, Jr. writes the last chapter on the life and death of America’s most spectacular fighter pilot. After fifteen years of research, author and Telly Award-winning television host Stephen Skinner pens a driving, dynamic account that fills in the blanks left behind byhistoryafter the legendary Arizona balloon buster died under controversial circumstances deep in enemy lines in September of 1918.

After 15 years of worldwide research and on-site archeological work in France, Skinner is the foremost expert on the life and death of Medal of Honor ace Lt. Frank Luke Jr. He has also hosted a documentary revealing how battlefield archeology solved the 90-year-old mystery of Luke’s death, titled The Search for THE STAND. He has written three books and scores of articles and hosted hundreds of television programs on major national networks. Stephen, his wife, and their four children reside in the American Midwest.
