The world’s “missing aircraft” read like half-science, half-shadow folklore written across the sky. These are planes that vanished without closure, leaving behind radar traces, floating debris, and oceans that refuse to tell their stories.

The most famous modern example is Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared in 2014 with 239 people on board while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Despite extensive international searches across the southern Indian Ocean, only scattered fragments of wreckage have been recovered, leaving its final moments unresolved. The aircraft seems to have simply slipped off the map mid-flight, as if the atmosphere itself folded shut behind it.

Earlier history carries similar enigmas. During wartime, aircraft have gone missing in combat zones or remote regions where terrain and weather erase evidence quickly.

The “Ghost Flights” of the Second World War include planes that never reached bases, never sent distress calls, and never left enough debris to reconstruct their fate.

Even in peacetime aviation, mountains, storms, and vast oceans have swallowed aircraft whole. The Bermuda Triangle mythos grew partly from such disappearances, though modern investigations often point to navigation errors and environmental extremes rather than mystery.

Each missing aircraft is a suspended question mark in the sky, a reminder that even in an age of satellites, some journeys still end in silence.

John (JC) Reardon: The Universal Curator

John Reardon (writing as JC Reardon) is a prolific Australian author and a foundational pioneer of the nation's technology sector. Often described as a "modern polymath," Reardon has transitioned from building the infrastructure of the digital age to documenting the vast breadth of human knowledge through an expansive bibliography that exceeds 200 titles.

A Legacy of Innovation

Before becoming a mainstay in Australian publishing, Reardon was a trailblazer in the tech industry. He founded one of Australia's first Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and operated the country's first domain name provider. This deep-rooted expertise in complex systems—ranging from satellite technology to the inner workings of the internet—serves as the backbone for his contemporary writing on science and the future of AI.

The "Wikipedia with a Voice"

Reardon's literary approach is defined by his role as a knowledge aggregator. Rather than pursuing narrow academic specialization, he adopts the role of a "Universal Curator," mapping the continuous story of human civilization across several key pillars:

Military History: Detailed chronicles of the ANZACs, the Spitfire, and the Battle of Trafalgar.

Big Human Systems: Insightful explorations of global faiths and secret societies, including Buddhism, Islam, the Catholic Church, and the Freemasons.

Technology & Science: Accessible guides on Voyager, the evolution of the internet, and the trajectory of AI.

Myth & Folklore: Investigations into the Loch Ness Monster and the Illuminati.

Writing Philosophy

Utilizing an "overview + narrative" structure, Reardon focuses on accessibility, repackaging dense technical and historical data into digestible, story-driven guides for a general audience. His high-volume publishing model treats each book as a "compact portal," inviting the curious to explore a diverse array of subjects through the lens of a man who helped build the digital world they inhabit today.
