7 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
World War II, October 21, 1942. A B-17 bomber drones high over the Pacific Ocean, sending a desperate SOS into the air. The crew is carrying America's greatest living war hero on a secret mission deep into the battle zone. But the plane is lost, burning through its final gallons of fuel. At 1:30 p.m., there is only one choice left: an emergency landing at sea. If the crew survives the impact, they will be left stranded without food or water hundreds of miles from civilization. Eight men. Three inflatable rafts. Sixty-eight million square miles of ocean. What will it take to make it back alive?

Only around page 20, the book is really good so far. Amazing description without dragging it on and making it boring. Would recommend to people who like history and wars.

This was an interesting survival story written for younger readers, but somehow it was just not as compelling to me as some others that I‘ve read. It has seemed to be a bit easier of a sell to some middle school students, so I‘m hoping I can use it to introduce them to other similar stories as well.

Assignment #2 at first I thought that there was no way that they would survive but, it was made a book so of course they survived. If I could change something to this book it would be not as long of a read, it was small but the time on sea was a little boring. I like the way the author did describe the Change in their bodies while on sea.

This is for a assignment. This story was about a group of men flying to drop off some letters for the men at war. But when they miss the fuel stop, they run out of fuel and need to make an emergency stop and fly into the water. They need to make do with the stuff they grab. When the get into the rafts they realize they forgot all the food and water. Their stranded for 3 weeks.
