Early the morning of August 16, 1942, the L-8, a U.S. Navy blimp, prepared to take off from Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. It's mission? To hunt for Japanese submarines sinking merchant ships off the coast of California. Two men are on board that day: Lt. Cody, the pilot, and Ensign Adams, the co-pilot. Five hours later, the L-8 makes an unscheduled landing just south of San Francisco. After the authorities watch the blimp slowly descend, they approach it carefully only to discover there's no one board. The crew has simply vanished. This 90 minute ZOOM presentation will be lavishly illustrated with photos and film clips as we explore the facts and theories of what happened to the L-8 crew.
