Twining in Coral Sea

Brig. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Commanding General of the 13th AF and his combat flight party had been adrift in life rafts in the Coral Sea for six nights and five days after their B-17 plane had been forced down. Their food was composed of chocolate candy, half a sardine per person each second and fifth day, and the partially digested hors d' oeuvre provided by an albatross shot by the General. 1 Feb 1943.
