The official site of Schiffer Publishing's book, "THE STAND: The Final Flight of Lt. Frank Luke, Jr."



For the first time in history, THE STAND reveals the political maneuvering and the personal feud that cost the American ace of aces his life. This is everything the US military establishment didn't want the public to know.

On 29 September 1918, America's leading fighter ace disappeared over German lines and was never seen again. Ninety-five years later, the last great mystery of World War I was solved.

If you thought you knew the story of Frank Luke, it's time to read it again.
