 FOTF Memorial Project is very pleased to announce that 2025 book sales are well-ahead of schedule and that the annual goal of 10,000 book deliveries and lifetime goal of 40,000 book deliveries have both been achieved. Our 2025 formal book promotion schedule will continue with a final 2025 promotion scheduled for "Flight of the Forgotten" and "Angels of Light" in November 2025. This will position the project very well for the 2026 goal of 10,000 annual book deliveries and lifetime goal of 50,000 book deliveries.

Thank you to everyone involved in our efforts to bring darkness into light and share the story of the Jack B. Ketchum Crew!

This is the link for the (free) download version of "Flight of the Forgotten" (e-book) as well as all other paid versions of the story. Many thanks to the good people at e-bookdaily.com for this very much appreciated gesture on behalf of the FOTF Memorial Project. 

   

 Amazon reviews for "Flight of the Forgotten" seem to follow a very simple pattern. Positive reviews are essentially from neutral sources and negative reviews almost exclusively derive from local inhabitants of the United Kingdom that don't like how their ancestors are portrayed. Pilfering of the crash site is a fact that UK residents seem incapable of accepting. The supposed rationale being predicated on religious devotion. That is indeed humorous as Nazis during the same era were known to be "born again" Lutherans. No doubt, their descendants are less-than proud of their actions also. Much of the "haunting" aspect of the story that locals choose to dismiss, was presented to us in person by locals during our on-site inspection of the crash site. What now has refused acceptance in Gairloch, Scotland was previously relayed to us directly by the very ancestors of those writing negative Amazon reviews. 

   The assertion that I am trying to sell the public on the facts of this story for personal gain is beyond ridiculous. The e-book is free and 100% of all proceeds from other formats are dedicated to promoting and sharing the men's story. The goal is to prevent the men's sacrifice from being forgotten. There is no personal financial gain by anyone involved in this effort, except the third-party services we have contracted to publish and promote the story. In short, local UK residents have nothing to be jealous of and no excuse for being so negative and petty.  

   Perhaps Amazon should require book reviewers to pass a test on their neutrality and legitimacy before offering them a platform for low-brow emotional response reviews on a subject they undoubtedly find both confusing and personally unacceptable. Before you question my honor and the honor of the staff of the FOTF Memorial Project, I would suggest that you scrutinize your own

The FOTF Memorial Project is pleased to report that 2025 (Q3) sales goals are well ahead of schedule. Amazon platform sales for August 2025 exceed 100 units as of the 13th, with global sales across all platforms adding an additional 15 units. Total lifetime sales across all platforms has reached 37,000 with additional promotional efforts planned for 2025. The goal of delivering 40,000 lifetime units by the end of fiscal 2025 remains viable.

Thank you for supporting our efforts to honor the Jack B. Ketchum crew and to counter official efforts that would have their sacrifice forever forgotten. In the words of Jack B. Ketchum, "A sacrifice made out of love of country is a sacred gift." 

 

   The FOTF Memorial Project is very pleased to report that our 2025 quarterly sales goal of 300 books on the Amazon platform has been exceeded by over 800%. A very successful promotion on July 11th enabled us to distribute over 2500 books on the Amazon platform. In addition, 93 books were delivered on the Apple platform and several hundred books on the Google platform. The marketplace continues to express significant interest in the FOTF storyline, and additional sales promotions are being planned for fiscal 2025. To date, lifetime sales in all book formats and across all global platforms exceed 35,000. 

   We are extremely grateful to everyone involved for helping us share the story of the Jack B. Ketchum Crew. Please help us by sharing it with someone you know and care about. Light is truly the best disinfectant for suppression.

On behalf of these very special men, thank you to everyone that reads and supports this effort.   
 

 After falling short for August, September, and October, sales for November 2024 exceeded the sales goal by 52% on the Amazon platform. It is the contention of the FOTF Memorial Project that this surplus was the result of a one-day book promotion during November. Based on the decline in the previous quarter and the surplus resulting from this promotion, the FOTF Memorial Project has elected to pursue a regular book promotion schedule throughout 2025. Please join us in supporting this effort by sharing both stories with would-be readers around the world.

 The FOTF Memorial Project is pleased to report that our sales goal of 100 units on the Amazon.com platform has been exceeded for July 2024. Global sales on platforms such as Google Play and Apple, account for an additional 20% to gross sales. Thank you to everyone that purchased, downloaded, and read the amazing story of the Jack B. Ketchum Crew. "Flight of the Forgotten" continues to hold the #1 position on Amazon.com in the category of Military/Aviation/History. Share it with your friends and family.

 

The monthly sales goal of 100 (combined) unit sales of "Flight of the Forgotten" and "Angels of Light" on the Amazon (USA) platform has been met well-ahead of schedule. International sales for June, 2024 account for an additional 40%. Many thanks to all of you for helping us share the forgotten story of the Jack B. Ketchum Crew, "Flight of the Forgotten" and its correlated spiritual antidote, "Angels of Light".
