The Incredible WWII Escape Of Major Damon 'Rocky' Gause

Major Damon “Rocky” Gause was a U.S. Army Pilot whose grit and determination carried him through one of the most remarkable escapes of World War II. Stranded in the Philippines after the Japanese invasion, he was captured during the fall of Bataan but broke out of a POW camp within weeks, swimming to the besieged fortress of Corregidor to continue fighting. When Corregidor fell, he began an extraordinary journey through enemy-controlled waters traveling all the way to Australia, surviving storms, patrols, and hunger along the way.
