Fascinating story that overcomes the odds

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago

The background of this near-disaster is given a solid if not exciting introduction. The story really takes off when the the actual flight is attempted. The mistakes and errors lead all to a feeling of impending doom. The efforts of all lost at sea are well explained, and this a story of men who didn't give up, even when the whole world had.
