A newspaper account, part of the Lt. Bancroft Korean War collection, recounts one aviator's harrowing survival after ditching into the sea. Struggling out of his flight suit and life jacket, the airman battled exhaustion and cold for nearly 40 minutes before a passing ship's crew spotted him, hauled him aboard by rope, and revived him with plasma -- a vivid firsthand testament to the dangers faced by Korean War-era aircrews.
