This is the story of the plane crash, survival story, and incredible glider-snatch rescue from the jungle of New Guinea in 1945. As of right now, it is one of the free selections on the iBooks store, (assuming Apple gives everyone access to the same selections.)

I read this book in paperback form just a few months ago. It is riveting! Probably some of my interest was because that's where my Daddy was stationed after he was assigned to Transport Command--flying C-47s. He wasn't involved in the events described in the book, but I have no doubt he had personal knowledge of them.
