The Survivor [signed]

The emergency medical evacuation captured worldwide attention. Aboard the 1972 flight was British Nurse Judy Hill and her sick patients—a pregnant Inuit woman and 14-year-old David Kootook. Former German Luftwaffe pilot Marten Hartwell was at the controls. Before it was over, the journey led to one of the most absorbing survival stories in modern times. A massive military search effort, its results, and the subsequent intensive police probe and legal action are only a few of the gripping elements of this true story. What happened then and in the intervening years creates a mesmerizing account of events that now have their rightful place in history through a journalistic recording. Included in this haunting book are extraordinary tales of others with chilling survival stories and reaction from the church to the consumption of human flesh as a means to stay alive.
