From the Publisher
World War II story of the B-24 Liberator "Little Eva" in the Australian outback and the search for survivors.
From the Back Cover
�A riveting read--the stuff of nightmares, perhaps, but testimony to the resilience of the human spirit, and I couldn�t put it down.� --Red Harrison, Weekend Australian
�Tales of human endurance and survival don�t come much better than the one Barry Ralph tells.�
--Michael Jacobson, Gold Coast Bulletin
In the early hours of December 2, 1942, the B-24 Liberator Little Eva, returning from a mission over New Guinea, was thrown off course by a violent storm. Running out of fuel, and with no fix on their position, the crew had no option but to bail out. So began a struggle for survival that led to one of the longest and most arduous searches ever mounted in the Australian outback. Barry Ralph offers this true story in a compelling narrative, a harrowing account of the American airmen and their fate.
Barry Ralph is an Australian broadcaster and military historian as well as a communications broker.
