WORLD WAR II AMERICAN FLYER'S CONCISE SURVIVAL BOOK . . . HOW TO SURVIVE AFTER AN EMERGENCY LANDING . . . IN THE JUNGLE DESERT ARCTIC OR OCEAN . This is a pilot and air crew survival book. It was commonly found in fighter pilot's survival vests lifeboats and in survival pouches or canvas bags carried in bomber aircraft in flight suits and anywhere aircrew could store it along with other survival items. . The book outlines survival techniques in four different environments. How to signal searching friendly air forces how to identify edible plants & fruit how to trap animals monkeys for food which plants to eat how to insulate and protect your body from the elements and how to avoid the enemy. How to make fire how to keep warm cool dry and protect your body from bugs snakes and other dangers. . This book and the cloth 'survival' maps along with other survival gear were contained in a 4 x 11 inch waterproof pouch in aircraft or the essential items removed and stuffed into the flight suit or survival vest with pistol holster. . RARITY: This ephemeral small book was commonly lost in the shuffle and few if any decent clean & complete copies 'survived' the war no pun intended !! . The majority of these books were exhausted during the war damaged by weather the "attrition rate" or lost in air crashes & other common calamaties. We have only seen three copies in 55 years tenure. . Color photos are posted to our website. . A FAMOUS BOOK: Per Baldiwn below the book we offer is illustrated on p.165 as figure 8.2. . Per the caption this item was issued to " "Air crews of the 5th & 13th Air Forces operating in the Pacific." . This book was also issued to the 14th Air Force based in Kunming S.W. China where the "A.V.G." "AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" and later in 1942 the by the famed "FLYING TIGERS" who flew combat fighter aircraft against the Japanese air force over Burma and China. . We provide a photo from Baldwin as an educational example to our clients. The photo is posted to our website as illus08.jpg along with several other photos of the book. . This book and other cloth "survival" maps were commonly carried by fighter pilots and bomber crews on combat missions. . Please inquire on our website for other "survival" maps & assorted items for survival. . CONDITION: The book is bound in the orignal "Office of Flying Safety Safety Education Division" red stiff covers. . Being over 80 years old naturally the covers will show the usual signs of beng opened bending to the covers typical minor rubbing to the the corners & a touch of minor scuffing to the covers. . By and large this is an excellent example. The contents are brilliantly clean bright & the book is solidly bound. . Far and above the average example seldom found intact and complete. . REFERENCES: .

‎U.S. AAF ARMY AIR FORCE OFFICER PILOT DRESS "CRUSHER" CAP.Original World War‎

‎New York 1940 Hunt. U.S. Army Air Force Officer pilot's cap olive drab mohair wool extra fine high-quality leather visor chin-strap brass buttonslarge brass eagle insignia very good condition complete worn by Americans dated.RARE . . . . VERY RARE DATED 1940 OFFICER'S "CRUSHER" CAP . . . OLIVE DRAB GREEN 100% MOHAIR WOOL AND LEATHER . . . WORN BY "A.V.G. "AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" & . . . "FLYING TIGERS" THROUGHOUT WORLD WAR 2 IN CHINA & BURMA . This is a very good used example of the Officer Pilot U.S. Army Air Force mohair wool & all leather cap. . CRUSHER STYLE A.A.F. ARMY AIR FORCE CAP: The cap is often called "crusher" type since it was used by aviators wearing headphones. The hat could also be folded and put in the pocket when necessary without damage. The visor and chin-strap are of brown calf leather with out damage firmly in place with two expandable tabs and a small buckle at the back for expansion. This cap was very popular and worn from the beginning of World War II by U.S. A.A.F. Army Air Force pilots and crew members. The main difference being in the quality of the wool cover. The high quality finely woven mohair type was issued to officers while the rougher more course weave was wool was for the enlisted crew members. . The steel band that goes inside the wool cover accompanies this cap to make it a 'crusher' pilots removed this item to allow the outside top edges of the cap to be loose and allow the wear to use earphones over this cap. The buyer can use this cap either way. . THE EAGLE EMBLEM AT THE TOP: There were various makers of the cap and the hardware. Each maker made a slightly variant emblem of the eagle clutching sheaves of grain and arrows with an eagle in the center with a round disk showing 13 stars surrounded by a field of flowers. While the subject of the emblem remains virtually the same the exact style varied with makers as did the style of the eagle's wings. Some were more open in a "V" shape others more closed or vertical in a "V" shape. . THE HUNT CO. HUNT NEW YORK MAKER: Inside the leather brim is some black printed information we hope it was correctly read some letters are less than clear: "June 29 1940 qm 278 SPEC. O.Q.D. No. 595 STOCK No. 73-F-2111 Q.M. P.O.N.Y." . This example was made in Hunt New York by an unstated company. The usual plastic head liner is missing it was the usual place to carry the maker's name. Elsewhere we found "Hunt New York most likely this was the Hunt Co. product. . The interior top liner is khaki color satin with a leather liner and brown ribbon at the back where the leather band is joined. The size is about 7 inches. . QUALITY: This is a superior quality officer's hat with high-grade calf-brown leather visor and an excellent quality leather of a lighter color under the visor. The fine leather chinstrap has the two brass screw retainers buttons at the side 3 belt loops in all and a bronze buckle at the rear. All in all excellent quality materials & workmanship. . CONDITION: There are a few typical tiny and old moth holes on the top of the hat otherwise a very good example no damage or other issues. The inside leather band has some minor wear opposite the forehead as usual. . RARE: This World War 2 early A.A.F. "Crusher" hat is quite rare and seldom found on the market in such very good condition for a 1940 dated item now nearly 80 years old. . . hardcover‎

‎1942-1943. Two black & white photographs of pilots suited up in flight uniforms size:a. 9.6 x 11.8 cm.; b.8 x 12.3 cm image clear excellent no fading original period photos with inscriptions. UNIQUE OBSCURE EARLY 1940'S . . . A PAIR OF EARLY WORLD WAR 2 PHOTOGRAPHS . . . SHOWS TWO U.S.A.A.F. PILOTS: FIGHTER & BOMBER . . This is a pair of early 1940's black and white photographs of United States Army Air Force U.S.A.A.F. pilots. These were part of a group of photographs from a "FLYING TIGERS" U.S.A.A.F. member's collection of duty while stationed in Kunming Yunnan China 1942-1943. . The larger shows a pilot immediately after landing standing on the right wing inspecting two large "flack" holes in the aircraft skin during air to air combat against the Japanese air force. . The American pilot wears the typical flight A.A.F. uniform of the period: leather flight cap with earphones flight goggles leather flight jacket heavy duty trousers boots and his parachute. . Near the tail are twin 50 caliber machine guns in the turret typical of the weapons on U.S. bombers. . The smaller photograph shows a fighter pilot wearing his sheepskin flight jacket flight jumpsuit flight boots and he is wearing his parachute. He stands on the wing with one leg inside the cockpit getting ready for take off. He holds a camera in his right hand. . The first photograph show the typical bomber aircraft flown from the Royal Air Force Airfield in Dubjan India to Kunming Yunnan China in the C.B.I. China Burma & India theaters of World War 2 Asia. The inscription on the back states: "This photo has been" released for publication: Jerome Kagel 1st Lt. Ac" with a "Passed by Army Examiners" stamp over the signature. Below that: "Lt. James Wilson" with a more recent comment: "Please return to Luther d. Moore 5370 Verbena San Antonio Texas 78240." . The second shows a single seat fighter aircraft. The front has an inked inscription: "To Cary with love Herbie." The photo was taken at the U.S.A.A.F SAACC San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center San Antonio Texas which operated 1943-1945. Obviously this pilot sent a previous photo of himself to his girlfriend or wife prior to shipping out to the war. . . hardcover‎

‎WORLD WAR 2 PHOTOGRAPH OF "FLYING TIGER" PERSONNEL IN THE MESS HALL KUNMING YU‎

‎Kunming circa 1943-1944. Large glossy photograph of U.S.A. A.F. "FLYING TIGERS" at chow in Kunming 19.4 x 24 cm. with red grease pencil:"CHOW DELUXE" in lower left corner shows U.S. personnel in the chow hall. ORIGINAL PERIOD PHOTOGRAPH . . . . A RARE ORIGINAL 1942-1944 ERA BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH . . . SHOWS "FLYING TIGER" PERSONNEL AT CHOW . . . IN KUNMING YUNNAN CHINA . The "A.V.G." AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" later known as the famous "FLYING TIGERS" were conceived of and commanded by Major General Claire L. Chennault. This group was part of the "C.B.I." 'CHINA BURMA & INDIA' theater of World War 2 in Asia. . After July 1942 the command was renamed the Tenth Army Air Force A.A.F. Their headquarters were in Kunming Yunnan province western China. . The Kunming chow hall was basic: with Chinese-made rough wood tables chairs porcelain covered tin plates with many dings and broken edges per the photograph and U.S. Army utensils. . The superb and early photograph shows several "FLYING TIGERS" at chow. The food was simple but plentiful: local fried chicken rice bread brown & white walnuts green vegetables peanuts bananas grapes apples salt pepper & rice gruel soup. This "Chow Deluxe" was a later development in Kunming after the barracks and mess hall were built by the Chinese. . The personnel wear the typical "U.S. ARMY AIR FORCE" gold wings against a blue back ground round right-shoulder patch. On the left shoulder is the "C.B.I." unit patch in blue white & red. See photos posted to our website especially for the soldier in illus01.jpg who wears the above two patches. . Several personnel wear olive drab shirt and trousers khaki shirt and trousers and officer's khaki tunics. Mechanics clerks aircraft maintenance and other support people populate the mess hall. . Seldom found genuine original period photographs of the "FLYING TIGERS" are RARE. This example appears to be a newspaper press photograph typically they used red grease pencil to highlight titles subjects or important images for pre-publication emphasis by editors. . . unknown‎

ON CURTISS P-40 TOMAHAWK PROPELLER MAINTENANCE . . The "A.V.G." "AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" later well known as the "FLYING TIGERS" were created and commanded by Major General Clarie L. Chennault headquarters in Kunming Yunnan China. . The "A.V.G." and "FLYING TIGERS" were part of the "C.B.I." "CHINA BURMA & INDIA" theater of World War 2 in Asia. Their personnel in the early years was limited to 300 volunteers. Aircraft maintenance was critical and American mechanics were less than what was needed. . Chennault requested of Mme. and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek the assistance of Chinese Air Force mechanics to service the CURTISS P-40 TOMAHAWK fighter plane used to prosecute the air war against the Japanese air force. . To that end Chinese mechanics came to Kunming for training and aircraft service assistance. Under Chennault the GSS GENERAL STAFF SCHOOL a training course designed for Chinese Air Force mechanics was undertaken. . This photograph is a very rare original example of an American technical sergeant training five Chinese mechanics. They are under a make-shift roof against the barracks at the Kunming airport headquarters of the "FLYING TIGERS." . This exact brick structure appears in several other period photographs of this and other similar buildings used to house and feed Army Air Force personnel. A Chinese officer at the immediate far right looks on as the class progresses. . The technical sergeant holds a P-40 propeller part with other related parts and tools on the training table. There is another aircraft part resting on the floor near the table leg. . In the background tacked to the brick wall is a training chart showing a blow-up of other P-40 parts. . The five Chinese Air Force students wear khaki shirt shorts with a name tag on each. Most wear wrist watches a symbol of some affluence during the sparse years of the 1937 Sino-Japanese war. They wear no rank or other identifying military badges. . CONDITION: The photograph is very clean with excellent focus and registry no fading or other blemishes on glossy paper. . RARITY: Photographs of American soldiers training Chinese soldiers are RARE. This excellent example shows the actual process of the training class. . REFERENCES: .

USED BY THE FLYING TIGERS: This map and many similar to it were part of the items issued to FLYING TIGER pilots and A.V.G. AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP pilots. They were often tied around the neck to keep them warm while flying. . This map was part of the U.S. Army Air Force and Naval flyers "E & E" survival kit Escape & Evasion printed on silk parachute cloth. These maps were often worn by fighter and other air crew members as scarves to insure they would be with the downed airman if/when his plane or he had to parachute out into the sea or over land. . Each air crew member carried among other survival supplies a .38 caliber pistol survival knife a signal mirror stainless steel or glass compass & some basic food rations fishing kit water purification tablets along with minor medical supplies; the whole kit was tucked into the pant pocket of the flight suit. The mass majority of these maps have perished during World War II & few if any others survived the attrition rate of war time & climate prevented many from ever being brought back home. This map and others like it were issued to all fight crews in the Pacific war against Japan to insure that downed fliers had some chance to navigate their way back to friendly forces. . . hardcover‎
