The One-Eyed Pilot and the Tongan Castaways
Today we're going back to 1965 to meet 6 boys from Tonga who survived life on a deserted island. They didn't just survive either; they raised wild chickens, planted crops, wrote songs, and a comfortable island life for themselves--for 15 months.
Plus, we'll find out the ill-fated end of the first man to fly around the earth.
