The complete epic story of the ordeal and rescue of those who were with Eddie Rickenbacker on the plane lost in the Pacific.
This is an inspiring true adventure story of eight courageous men who endured a frightening ordeal, overcoming their fear and despair because of a deep faith in God and His power to save them.
I found this to be an amazing survivor story. What the men went through is truly amazing, the pictures added a lot. Wait until you see how tiny those life rafts were and ask yourself how you would have fared.
