Check out this never before filmed WW2 Navy Survival Kit. The Naval Specification M-592 was a pilot's survival kit worn under the life vest and parachute. This 13 pound kit was very uncomfortable for the pilot to wear, pushing them too far up in their seat. It was very comprehensive, a pioneering kit that led to better and more efficient designs as this was one of the earliest. About 40,000 were produced in the couple years it was made.
Huge thanks to my Patrons at Patreon for making this one possible.
