Come learn about the mystery of Frank's Nightmare, the story of a B-17 shot down over Germany and its sole survivor.

 

Former Athens, GA resident Lt. Eugene Cook was the pilot of “Frank’s Nightmare,” a jinxed B-17 Flying Fortress from the 91st Bomb Group. This plane was shot down on Cook’s fifth mission - the famous August 1943 "Double Strike" on Schweinfurt and Regensburg, Germany. Following a harrowing experience landing, he spent almost two years in a German POW camp. Cook discovered after the war that he was the sole survivor of this ill-fated Flying Fortress.

Through an unbelievable coincidence, presenter Bill Cosgrove visited the crash site near Heimbach, Germany and solved a 70-year mystery for both Cook's family and the people of this small village in the Eifel Forest of western Germany.
