I'm reading 81 Days Below Zero. It's the story [View all]

of a World War II pilot who went down in the Alaska wilderness and was missing for 81 days.

The pilot's name is Leon Crane. If he's alive now, he would be almost 100 years old. Does anybody know if he's alive? I googled but can't find anything.
