Lieutenant Whittaker was in one of the three rafts set adrift in the Pacific after the plane carrying Rickenbacker on a special assignment for the War Department was forced to ditch in the Pacific after overshooting Canton Island. Rickenbacker, his aide, Colonel Hans Adamson, and a member of his flight crew were rescued at sea after 21 days adrift. Whittaker and the men in his raft were able to make landfall on the island of Nukufetau, where they were assisted by the natives and arrangements were made for their rescue.
