In person program; Recorded January 24, 2023 - On a frigid winter afternoon at the height of the Cold War, a Strategic Air Command B-52 Stratofortress departed Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts for a routine training mission. Hours later, the aircraft's smoking wreckage lay scattered across a snow-encased mountainside in Maine's desolate North Woods. Joseph Wax, author of FINAL MISSION The North Woods, visited MHS on the 60th anniversary of that fateful day and related the gripping account of the events and aftermath as revealed by those who miraculously survived and the families of those who perished.
