Examining Silk Map Production

Escape & Evasion Kit

Originally developed by the highly-secretive MI9, escape and evasion kits (E&E) were one of the most prized items issued to paratroopers. Christopher Hutton came up with the first escape kits in the Spring of 1940. During the war the most widespread issue pouch was the Red France kit. In addition, a special "Maps Only" pouch was procured specifically for the Normandy D-day invasion. Both styles were widely issued to both USAAF crews and paratroopers.

New 2020 production run!   These museum-quality replicas features the original rubberized waterproof khaki fabric cut from the original roll - the actual fabric originally used to construct these.  Complete with custom silk screened lettering and the characteristic white 43/44 over stamp (with period style pigment ink). The new run now has edge reinforcement tabs, and liquid rubber sealed edges, and a reusable adhesive strip so you open/close your E&E pouch. 
 
  • Single Red France Kit: $19.95
  • Single Black "Invasion" Kit: $19.95
  • 2-Pack: $35.95
