Sole Survivor

While returning from a World War II bombing mission, a United States Army Air Forces North American B-25 Mitchell bomber sustains damage from action with German fighters. Without any order to abandon the aircraft, the navigator, Lieutenant Hamner, panics and bails out. The aircraft, now lost due to having no navigator, and the remaining crew overfly their base and continue on for another 300 miles before eventually crash landing in the Libyan desert.
