Phantom Father Sharon Estill Taylor

Phantom Father chronicles a daughter's search and recovery mission to bring home her father, 1Lt. Shannon Estill, a P-38 fighter pilot and one of the last casualties of World War II.




"This project is a labor of love manifested in a lifelong father-quest. It is, simply, something I had to do.




As war babies whose fathers never came home to us, we received instead a yearning for something missing but ever-present. To that, I added a burning desire to know my father.




This project is about honor and sacrifice, another way to be a daughter, and a tribute to the eternal spirit of father-love across time and reality." -- Sharon Estill Taylor, PhD
