A JUNGLE KIT designed for emergency
landings provides equipment and_ supplies
that will enable a U. S. airman to stay alive
until rescued. a machete enables him to hack
his way through jungle undergrowth, while
fishing tackle helps to feed him. Quinine,
matches, and fodine are kept in watertight
metal containers. While the fodine may be
used on cuts, it is primarily for the purpose
of purifying drinking water. Each piece of
equipment is fitted into the felt bottom of
the kit, and the whole is strapped into the
small of the back like the regular back pad
used with a pursuit pilot's parachute.
