A B-17 bomber crashes in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. What follows is a harrowing tale of survival against all odds for the crew and their VIP passenger, famed WWI ace pilot Eddie Rickenbacker. Olson describes the physical struggles the crew members experience as well as their psychological struggles against nature and their fellow man. Altogether it's a compelling true-life drama.
