Beneath Haunted Waters is the story of two B-24 Liberator bombers that disappeared in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains in early December, 1943. One plane wasn't found until 1955 at the bottom of a reservoir. The other plane was discovered in 1960 at the bottom of a lake, high in the mountains. It's the story of these planes and their two crews and how they died so young, as well as the story of a father's devotion: Clinton Hester looked for his pilot-son Robert's body for the next 16 years, dying one year before Robert's body was discovered within ten miles of where Clinton thought it would be. California named the crash site Hester Lake in his honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Stekel is the author of Final Flight, the Mystery of a World War II Plane Crash and the Frozen Airmen in the High Sierra (Wilderness Press), Best Hikes Near Seattle (Falcon Guides), Best Wildflower Hikes Western Washington (Falcon Guides), and a mystery novel, The Flower Lover. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe has published feature stories in more than 700 magazines and newspapers, including articles on aviation, science and nature, Olympic sports, outdoor adventure and recreation, history, theatre arts and entertainment, and celebrity profiles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1975, Stekel received a B.A. in botany from the University of California, Davis.
