The Luftwaffe Guide Book To Basic Survival At Sea

When first
published during World War II, this basic survival at sea manual was
presented to Luftwaffe airmen in verse which was heavily colloquial and
illustrated by colorful cartoon images. 
The idea was that the novice flyer could memorize the couplets and
recall the visual images in order to retain their valuable message.   Students of military aviation history will
find this information on survival at sea most valuable.  In particular, the drawings, though
stylized cartoons, provide extremely accurate renderings of specific items of
survival equipment for reference purposes.
