Equipment 

of World War II: 

Army Air Forces and U.S. Navy

 

Dustin Clingenpeel

​

The most comprehensive study ever produced on survival and rescue equipment used by the U.S. Army Air Forces and US Navy and Marine Corps aviators during the Second World War. Volume 4 in this series focuses on personal accessories and hardware, including side-arms, holsters and ammunition, fighting knives and pocket knives, rescue axes and machetes, compasses, fishing kits—as well as survival booklets, pamphlets and other printed materials.

 

Together with Volumes 1, 2 and 3 this series of guides is an indispensable resource for collectors, researchers and historians. Noted collector and military historian Dustin Clingenpeel has spent over 30 years gathering, examining and documenting survival and rescue gear and researching its history and development.
