The Alpena County Library’s George R. and Edith Angell Cook Special Collections Department will host State Maritime Archaeologist Wayne R. Lusardi on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Stillion Conference Room.

Lusardi will tell the story of Tuskegee Airman Lt. Frank H. Moody, who was killed on April 11, 1944 when his Bell P-39Q Airacobra crashed into lower Lake Huron. Lusardi has led expeditions to the site for over a decade and will share the history of World War II training over the Great Lakes, the details of the accident, and the ongoing work to preserve this important piece of history while honoring the courage and sacrifice of the Tuskegee Airmen.
