Louis Zamperini's B-24
Louis Zamperini was a bombardier who, during WW2, crashed in the Pacific Ocean. His plane, dubbed "Superman" suffered catastrophic engine failure and crashed soon after. He survived for 48 days on a raft with his best friend before being captured and tortured by the Japanese. He refused to fall even when dealt beatings, starvation and worse at the hands of prison guards. He finally survived and, although he passed away, he continues to inspire countless people with the story of his courage and endurance. This is his plane. De-activate button 8 to simulate the engine failure and activate button 1 to set loose his raft. Credit for the plane goes to SimpleFlow and credit for the raft goes to Lkirby. I just modified the raft and plane slightly.

Nice job with the raft tho…
I don’t think this is actually the plane that crashed, the Superman was landed on the island of Canton and was left there for repairs, the plane he went down in was “The Green Hornet” which he was in whilst on a search and rescue mission, flying along side the green hornet was Dasiy May which then pulled ahead which is why they didn’t see the Green Hornet crash
I read the book
