81 days below zero [electronic resource] : the incredible survival story of a World War II pilot in Alaska's frozen wilderness
Murphy, Brian, 1959-2015
eBook
Shortly before Christmas in 1943, five Army aviators left Alaska's Ladd Field on a test flight. Only one ever returned: Leon Crane, a city kid from Philadelphia, with little more than a parachute on his back when he bailed from his B-24 Liberator just before it crashed into the Arctic. Alone in subzero temperatures, he managed to stay alive in the dead of the Yukon winter for nearly 12 weeks and, amazingly, walked out of the ordeal intact. This book recounts the full remarkable story.
