Zamperini's life story was chronicled in the best-seller
Unbroken and a film based on the book is set to be

"..youngest
member of the U.S. Olympic team
that traveled to Berlin for the 1936 games. He didn't
medal, but was so impressive that Hitler asked to meet
him. The 1940 Olympics in Tokyo were cancelled due to
the war, and in 1941, Zamperini enlisted in the Air Force.
When his plane went down in the Pacific during a rescue
mission, Zamperini and two other crew mates survived on
a raft in the hot sun for 47 days. They were ultimately
caught by the Japanese Navy, beginning a terrifying term
of captivity that lasted until the end of the war in 1945.
Universal first bought Zamperini's rights back in the
1950s. ..."
