We've heard the tales of great wars fought with groundbreaking weaponry, but what about everything else in between? From missiles manned by pigeons to a helmet outfitted with firearms, to an incendiary device made to look like one of America's favorite pastimes.

Like a man who survives the apocalypse, or a woman involved in not one, but three maritime disasters. And, a cat that proves to be unsinkable in battle. These are the stories of survival, success, and reunion...against all odds.
