This story is about Louis Zamperini's military service in the Second World War. Louis was a world class Olympian who was going to make his highlights in the 1939 Berlin Olympic Games. Unfortunately for him, Europe falls into war as Adolf Hitler invades Poland. He is forced to stop.
Just two years later, Japan strikes at Pearl Harbor. He then enlists in the US Army Air Corps. After becoming a bombardier of a B-24 Liberator, he flew in multiple missions in the Pacific. One day he was called in for a rescue mission, he was sent to rescue a downed B-25 in the ocean but he never made it back. He had crashed in the middle of the Ocean and was forced to survive a painful 47 days at sea.
