The Sea Shall Not Have Them

During the autumn of 1944, a RAF Hudson carrying a VIP passenger in possession of highly secret information ditches in the North Sea after being shot down in aerial combat with a German Messerschmitt. The occupants of the aircraft's dinghy must fight the elements and keep up morale as they await rescue, while also trying to prevent anyone from falling overboard or facing capture by the Nazis. With limited rations, cold, and wet, their survival depends on the bravery and skill of an RAF Air Sea Rescue launch crew struggling against bad weather, mechanical problems, and enemy fire to locate and rescue them.
