Description
A remarkable tale of survival against the odds, 81 Days Below Zero recounts the incredible story of a World War II pilot who survived a plane crash in the frozen wilderness of Alaska.
On a routine flight in 1943, five Army aviators were forced to make an emergency landing in subzero temperatures. The mission ended in disaster, with four of the pilots losing their lives. But one man, Leon Crane, a city boy with no wilderness experience, miraculously survived with little more than a parachute and a knife.
This book tells the full story of Crane's twelve-week ordeal, a saga of survival against the harshest of conditions. With gripping detail, 81 Days Below Zero brings to life a remarkable true story of human endurance and determination.
