Eddie Rickenbacker's Raft, an Updated History Guy Episode
Known as the leading American air ace and most decorated U.S. soldier of the First World War, Eddie Rickenbacker required a different kind of courage when he and the crew of a B-17 had to ditch in the Pacific Ocean in October 1942. It is a harrowing story of survival at sea.
Originally produced in March 2018, I have since discovered quite a lot of extra footage of Rickenbacker that I did not have when the video was first produced, including footage of the rescue. Clips from the the USAAF training film "Ditch and Live" have also been included.
