When a British bomber came down in the Atlantic its main dinghy failed to function

When a British bomber came down in the Atlantic its main dinghy failed to function and the six members of the crew piled into a dinghy designed for two people. They drifted for hours until they were sighted by a Sunderland RAF manned by Australian crew. The flying boat alighted and rescued the airmen. Pictured, the dinghy-for-two, containing the six members of the bomber, photographed from the flying boat as it approached them. November 1941
