At 61, he woke up drowning inside his crashed plane. One eye. No life vest. He swam over a mile to shore. This is the most insane survival story in military history.
Libya, 1941: Adrian Carton de Wiart's plane crashed into the Mediterranean Sea during a reconnaissance mission. Knocked unconscious on impact, he woke up as water filled the fuselage. With only one eye and no flotation device, he clawed his way out of the sinking aircraft and swam over a mile to shore. He was 61 years old.
This is the same soldier who:
Survived 9 gunshot wounds across WWI and WWII
Tore off his own fingers when doctors refused amputation
Earned the Victoria Cross at the Battle of La Boiselle
Escaped a POW camp and was recaptured
Lived to 83 and said "I had enjoyed the war"
