American Aircrew Blood Chit with Multilingual Text, Vietnam War Era
A U.S. military 'blood chit,' carried by aircrew during the Vietnam War as survival equipment. Printed with the American flag and an appeal for assistance in multiple languages, the chit promised a reward to anyone who helped a downed or stranded airman return safely, and was designed to be understood regardless of where in the world an aviator might find himself.
