In 1957 a U.S. Army airplane crashed about three miles south of Brandon Gap and claimed the lives of four Army officers. Historian Bill Powers gives a first-hand account from 1957 and the remarkable "unconventional" rediscovery of the crash site over 50 years later. Learn about a crash victim's family and the father they never knew.
