FOOD. warm clothing, comforts, and signals in plywood
cylinders are now dropped like a stick of bombs by the
Royal Canadian Air Force to aid shipwrecked sailors and
cracked-up aviators. With a folded eight-man ‘rubber
dinghy in the center, connected by means of a kapok rope
to the other containers, the Lindholme rescue gear, as it is
known, is dropped accurately from the bomb racks of a
plane. The dinghy inflates on contact with the water; men
climb in and haul in the packs with the things they need
while awaiting rescue.
