The plane suffered crippling damage, with a resulting fire and explosion. Unable to maintain flight, Captain Crayton ejected over enemy territory. What happened next, though, demonstrates his character and heroism. While enemy troops quickly closed on his position, a search and rescue helicopter with armed escort arrived to attempt a pick up. Despite repeated efforts to clear the area of hostile fire, they were unsuccessful, and fuel ran low. Aware of this, and despite the grave personal danger, Captain Crayton selflessly directed them to depart, leading to his inevitable capture by the enemy. So began seven years of captivity as a prisoner of war. During this period, Captain Crayton provided superb leadership and guidance to fellow prisoners at several POW locations. Under the most adverse conditions, he resisted his captor’s efforts to break him, and he helped others maintain their resistance.
