1944 Restricted USAAF "Personal Equipment: A Manual for B-29 Crews"

This is a restricted 1944 manual prepared by the Headquarters Army Air Forces Office of Flying Safety entitled "Personal Equipment: A Manual for B-29 Crews". The book covers oxygen, life preservers, flak suits and helmets, first aid, parachute operation and more. This is a must for any escape and evasion, as well as any B-29 collection!
