Eddie Rickenbacker and crew went down at sea in 1942. They managed to get into rafts and the ordeal lasted for 21 days. After 8 days drifting they ran out of rations. A seagull landed on Eddie's hat and he was able to catch it which prevented starvation. Shortly after that it rained and they had fresh water till rescued. FDS
