Leon Crane (August 5, 1919 – March 26, 2002), a native of Philadelphia,[1] was an American Army Air Corps lieutenant who was stationed at Ladd Field[a] in Alaska during World War II. During a routine test flight on December 21, 1943, the B-24 Liberator Crane was copiloting experienced engine failure, causing the plane to crash into a mountaintop overlooking the Charley River. Of the crew of five, Crane was the only survivor, having managed to bail out in time.[2][3] Crane then was able to survive for 84 days in the Alaskan wilderness with only some matches, a Boy Scout knife and his parachute, before reaching a nearby mining camp.[4][5][6][7]
