It was the first and only combat mission for the B-24 Liberator “Lady Be Good.” On April 4, 1943, she left her base on the North African coast of Libya to bomb the port city of Naples, Italy. She never returned to base. It was not until the spring of 1959 that “Lady Be Good” was discovered by a BP oil exploration team almost 500 miles deep in the Libyan Desert, virtually intact, with no trace of the crew. What happened to the “Lady Be Good” is explored in this book. This includes the search for the crew and the subsequent mission to find the two US Army personnel lost during the initial search. The author interviewed personnel who took part in the recovery effort, and has included many unpublished photos taken at the crash site during the first USAF visit in 1959

As you rightly point out, this is a well known story. On reading the blurb, and seeing mention of unpublished material, my conclusion is that the title is an awkward way of saying this book contains "untold" aspects of the story, ergo the "untold story" of Lady Be Good.
However, as your post indicates, the title is poorly structured and easily open to the conclusion you reached.
Not their copywriter's finest hour.
