On a May afternoon in 1943 an Olympic runner turned Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Driven to the limits of endurance by leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, and enemy aircraft, the bomber would answer desperation with ingenuity, suffering with hope, and human brutality with rebellion. The book is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.
