GRANDSON OF WWII PILOT FINDS ANSWERS IN HIS CRASHED PLANE HIDDEN IN THE MOUNTAINS
They’d been searching for his grandpa for more than fifty years now. They looked at every record available and didn’t leave any stone unturned.
He was almost losing hope. His family would never get the closure they deserved. But one night, he received a phone call that changed everything.
World War II cost the Dumphy family sleepless nights for seventy-five years. What many consider a significant historical event was an endless nightmare for this family.
For more than half a century, the Dumphys searched for the remains of their grandpa, Jacob. He was a pilot in the war who’d been announced missing in action. The Dumphys almost gave up until Jacob’s grandson, Nathan, discovered something.
Nathan grew up with stories of his grandpa. Inspired and determined to follow his grandpa’s footsteps, he powered through school into the U.S Air Force.
A captain of the Air Force, Nathan’s tours worldwide made him crave giving his family closure. With this in mind, he began digging around, looking for anything that would end their seventy-five-year-long nightmare.
Nathan visited his grandma Sheryl that week with the news. Sheryl’s eyes grew wet. She told Nathan about the pain she’d gone through trying to uncover what happened to her husband.
But she was proud that he was looking into the case. Perhaps as an officer in the force, he would have better luck than she.
Nathan saw tears bloom in his grandma’s eyes and knew he couldn’t fail. He’d opened up old wounds in his family. The only way he’d heal them was if he unearthed the truth behind Jacob’s disappearance.
With this in mind, he began calling in favors wherever he could. He collected all the World War II records at his disposal and started his search. Hidden among those pages was the truth about Jacob’s death.
Nathan’s search led him to two critical findings. First, his grandpa had been cleared from duty only to be called back at the last minute.
Sheryl always talked about Jacob being a giving man with a good heart. Reading the records now, Nathan saw the truth in her words. His grandpa had been asked to spear a top-secret emergency mission, and he’d stepped up.
