John Harris and Richard Wilbourn have been researching the Hess affair for some 35 years and this book finally demolishes the idea of 'the solo flight of a madman' as described by the Nazi State on May 12th 1941. Using carefully shepherded archival material, Harris and Wilbourn describe the flight itself and the use of ELEKTRA, the then state of the art German navigational system. The Hess flight was clearly meticulously planned and the subsequent explanation proffered a convenient excuse to Stalin for the debacle that had just unfolded.
