Title: The Raft: The Courageous Struggle of Three Naval Airmen against the Sea Author: Robert Trumbull Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 29 minutes Release date: August 23, 2011 Genres: Military Publisher's Summary: “The sinking of the plane was like a magician’s trick. It was there and then it was gone, and there was nothing left in our big, wet, darkening world but the three of us and a piece of rubber that was not yet a raft.” In 1942, three men on an antisubmarine patrol flight became lost and pitched into the Pacific. The plane sank beneath them, carrying most of the survival gear down with it. For thirty-four scorching days and shivering nights, they faced the ocean terrors on a four-by-eight-foot rubber raft. They had no water, food, compass, or paddles—only their will to survive. But by feats of super endurance, they made their way to the South Sea isle of Puka Puka, having meandered 1,200 miles.
