@Tim paywalled unfortunately.
But is funny. I recall her story (of the plane crash and jungle survival) having been read to me and classmates at school.
Unfortunately I can't remember exactly which class/teacher it was. (School was anywhere from 40-50-ish years ago...)
Remember specifically being grossed out by the maggots. Still am.
Stumbled across the story reasonably recently and did a bit of googling.
Fascinating survival story.
A superficial dive down this recent rabbit hole brought up a new thing I learned today, being that the filmmaker that did the apparently authoritative doco on her also made the super surreal doco 'Grizzly Man'.
