September 1944, the Pacific. Twenty-year-old Lt. George Bush’s bomber was shot down in flames. With two crewmen killed, he parachuted into the ocean, drifting for hours surrounded by oil and enemy patrols. Rescued by the submarine Finback, he became one of WWII’s youngest aviator-heroes. Decades later, he rose to be the 41st U.S. president. But what if rescue had come too late?
