Description: This book is in good condition-no writing in it - pages intact "We Thought We Heard the Angels Sing" by Lt. James C. Whittaker is a first-hand account of survival and faith, originally published in 1943 and recounting a harrowing true story. The 1945 edition of this book continues to document the experiences of Whittaker and seven other crew members after their B-17 bomber, named the "Flying Fortress," was forced to crash-land into the Pacific Ocean during World War II. After the crash on October 21, 1942, the men spent 34 days adrift on life rafts, enduring extreme thirst, hunger, and exposure to the elements. In their struggle for survival, they encountered moments of despair and hope, attributing their endurance and eventual rescue to divine intervention. The title itself reflects the spiritual moments the men experienced, believing at times they heard angels singing during their ordeal, which fueled their hope and resilience.
