Three Pacific Fleet airmen who survived the ordeal of thirty-four days in this tiny rubber life-boat are shown shortly after they made safe landfall on a South Pacific Island to which they navigated after their bomber was forced down. Left to right are: Anthony J. Pastula, AMO2c; Aviation Chief Machinist Mate; Harold F. Dixon, pilot; and Gene D. Alrich, RM3c. This picture was made after they had been "fattened up"
