Escape & Evasion Kit: D-day version
Originally developed by the highly-secretive MI9, escape and evasion kits (E&E) were one of the most prized pieces of equipment for downed airmen and paratroopers. In preparation for the Normandy D-day invasion, the new 44 "Maps Only" kit was developed in the spring of 1944. It contained the "Zones of France" map, escape compass, and miniature hacksaw blade. It was widely issued to paratroopers and airmen in preparation for D-day.
This museum-quality replica features the original rubberized waterproof khaki fabric - the actual fabric originally used to construct these. Complete with custom silk screened lettering and the characteristic white 44 over stamp (with period style pigment ink).
