About this listen

In 1943, five Army aviators left Alaska's Ladd Field on a routine flight to test their hastily retrofitted B-24 Liberator in harsh winter conditions.

The mission ended in a crash that claimed all but one - Leon Crane. With little more than a parachute for cover and an old Boy Scout knife in his pocket, Crane now found himself alone in subzero temperatures.

Crane knew that his chance of survival dropped swiftly with each passing day. This is his story.

Critic reviews

"This is a great story, wonderfully told...seamlessly interweaving the pilot's intense struggle against the elements with the broader history of the war, Alaska, and the home front." (Eric Jay Dolin)
"Murphy's instincts for pacing and re-creating emotions, dialogue and details are so finely crafted that you might find yourself shivering right along with Crane." ( Minneapolis Star Tribune)
