Kompletní popis

In September 1955, Navy Lieutenant Commander Grover B. Windham and a crew of eight flew out of Guantanamo Bay into the eye of Hurricane Janet swirling in the Caribbean: a routine weather reconnaissance mission from which they never returned. Without computers or satellite systems, these Hurricane Hunters flew into raging storms to gauge their strength and predict their paths. Drawing from original navy documents and interviews with members of the squadron and relatives of the crew. "Stormchasers" reconstructs the ill-fated mission of Windham's crew from preflight checks to the chilling moment of their final transmission.
