Beginning in Chapter 17 the author seemingly presents the unfolding events as factual history when in fact he is taking creative license by mixing facts with conjecture and speculation to create the final hours of the "Hawaii Clipper".
In the epilogue he goes to great lengths to argue in favor of his theories with "facts" mixed in with his own deductions. While he does list numerous generalized sources for his research there are no concrete bibliographic records to substantiate his facts and therefore nothing to support his suppositions. This then brings into question the validity of the events and information in the previous chapters...
Had the author preluded the final chapter with his intent to write an inference of the final hours of the "Hawaii Clipper" I would have thoroughly enjoyed reading it and been pleased overall with the book. Instead I felt duped. It was a sad and disappointing ending to an otherwise good book.
This is why my four star rating dropped to a one.
