[c.1944-45.] A rayon American pilot's blood chit, 240 x 245 mm. With American flag and text in Karen, Tamil and Chinese below, numbered 9512, the chit backed with linen. The blood chit was either in the emergency kit that pilots flew with or sewn on the inside, or outside, of their flying jackets. Those in the Chinese/Indian theater often had blood chits with special phrases in up to 10 local languages. If a pilot was downed he would point to his blood chit, which would say that the man is an American pilot, and that if you help him you will receive financial reward from the US Government. This particular chit, made out of the man-made fiber rayon, is probably late war c.1944.
