1:47Now PlayingA survival story, a military mystery, and one missing jet that still raises questions decades later...
In 1957, the U.S. Air Force declared 23-year-old Lieutenant David Steeves dead after his T-33 training jet vanished mid-flight.
Then, 54 days later, Steeves walked out of California’s Kings Canyon National Park—alive. He claimed his jet exploded midair, forcing him to eject and survive for weeks with two sprained ankles, crawling through rugged wilderness until he found help.
Instead of being celebrated, the Air Force accused him of treason, suggesting he sold his plane to enemy forces. Though never charged, Steeves spent the rest of his life branded a traitor, desperately searching for the wreckage to clear his name.
In 1977, Boy Scouts hiking in Kings Canyon discovered his cockpit—finally backing up his story. The rest of the plane was never found.
