extracted text (Extract Text): STEEL-AND-CANVAS “flak jack-

ets” that protect our flyers from
enemy bullets and steel fragments
(P.8.M,, Oct. "43, p. 108) now carry
printed instructions to show which
parts of the jackets are to be worn
by each crew member of a B-17,
B-24, or B-26 bomber. Pilots and
copilots wear only the type B front
half vest and tapered sporran
(apron), as their backs are pro-
tected by the planes’ armor. Other
‘members of the crew, however, who
have to move about in unprotected
areas, wear either the full or taper-
ed apron and also the full vest,
which protects the chest and back.
Developed in England, the jackets
have materially reduced injuries.
