The men, forced to ditch their TBD Devastator plane after running out of fuel, were then confined to a 4 foot by 8 foot rubber raft for 34 days at sea, with no food or water (apart from what they could catch or trap), and no protection from the relentless tropical sun and the long nights. The men finally reached a small inhabited island (Pukapuka in the Cook Islands) where they stayed for 7 days before a U.S. warship arrived. Their story is a powerful testament of courage and leadership under extreme conditions, and has been an inspiration for generations of readers. Included are 4 pages of photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Trumbull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951682238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951682231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orchard Innovations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Robert Trumbull","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051203883263,"sku":"9781951682231","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac2b2b89-bee8-4f65-af4b-e88c8f30aee0.jpg?v=1685011703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-raft-robert-trumbull-9781951682231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
