Desert Survival

First issued to airmen in the 1950s, the Air Ministry's Sea Survival guide includes original and authentic emergency advice to crew operating over the ocean. With original illustrations and text, these survival guides provide an insight to military survival techniques from a bygone era. Packed with original line drawings and instructions—how to find water in a dry stream bed, how to make a hat out of seat cushions, and what to do if confronted by hostile parties. Focused on one of the harshest climates on Earth, Desert Survival is one of four reprints of The Air Ministry's emergency survival pamphlets, which also include Jungle Survival, Sea Survival, and Arctic Survival.
