norwest78 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's a nice piece of survival gear carried by aircrew in tropical regions. Not too often seen. I can't post very detailed photos due to the "probationary period" restrictions on my account. Maybe later.--Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The machete was used by flight crews in the frozen tundra too. At least that was the gist of the "Signal" magazine article showing the use of one of them. The "Signal" photo was published in Tom Johnson's volume III or IV if I remember correctly. Some of them were LW accepted and some had only commercial markings. The canvas frog as shown on yours was pictured another of Johnson's volumes. I have seen a leather frog too.
