Yes - 24 Seamen tied themselves together, floating in the Atlantic, in the dark and cold of night - after their Carrier was torpedoed and sunk.

22 fell asleep, mostly through fatigue, and drowned.

They had to keep cutting them free - to stop them dragging the others down with them.

Brown was one of only two who survived.

He also worked out that the only way to 'down' a particularly heavily, all-around, armed German aircraft was to fly 'head-on' at it - and 'take out' the cockpit - then pulling away at the last second, to avoid crashing directly into the enemy plane that he had just hit.
