Shadows: Airlift and Airwar in Biafra and Nigeria 1967-1970
Michael Draper was briefly involved in the airlift to Biafra during 1968 and was later involved with an attempt to ferry other aircraft there. The concept of Shadows emerged during conversations with pilots and other personnel engaged in organizing flights to and from Biafra. Draper has researched the subject for almost thirty years, often with assistance from various illegal gunrunners. He also gained access to many confidential files, as well as Church and International Red Cross records.
