“I learned that the prison was not the eight feet between the walls. It was eight inches between my ears.” – Captain Charlie Plumb
It takes extraordinary resilience to survive the impossible. In this episode, Brian interviews former navy fighter pilot and Vietnam Prisoner of War, Captain Charlie Plumb.
