The guy on the right looks like Louis Zamperini. Zamperini was a famous distance runner and olympiad (Munich, 1936). He was later a B-24 Bombardier, who crashed off Hawaii, drifet over 2,000 miles for 47 days, eventually becoming a prisoner of war of the Japanese.

A major film, "Unbroken," about his story was just released.
