Eddie Rickenbacker's Raft, an Updated History Guy Episode
The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered
Back during WW2, Eddie and his posse were heading out from Hawaii on their way to check out the military situation in the South Pacific. Their first stop was supposed to be Canton Island. Haven't I heard of that place before? Yes indeedy, it was a refueling stop for the China Clipper.
This story has some similarities to the plot of Cold Welcome by Elizabeth Moon.
Update April 2022 replaced missing video.
