Meet Robert Givens...a young man, rejected by the Navy because he was colorblind, but who refused to give up his dream of flying. Against the odds, he became a B-17 top turret gunner with the United States Army Corps and was thrilled to be serving his country. The Man Who Fell to Earth is the compelling true life story of a World War II airman, his harrowing fall from a B-17 as it broke apart over the North Sea, and the life he lived in the years that followed.
