Description In 1960 a Flying Fortress was found crashed far out in the Lybian desert with no sign of the crew or any indication of what had become of them. It had been there since 1943. This strange incident has been the inspiration for at least two films which focus on the twin ideas of bravery and cowardice. This exciting new opera takes the events and makes of them a compelling study of the tyranny of memory and the manipulation of identity.
