Army Air Forces C-1 Emergency Sustenance Vest (from my collection)
The World War II C-1 vest was the first military survival vest, and the military used it in large numbers in Korea. Pilots did not normally wear them in flight. Stored in a bag attached to a parachute, the pilots put them on after landing. Typical items carried in the C-1's 14 outside and two inner pockets included: waterproof match case, compass, toilet paper, first aid kit, bandages, flares, .45 caliber pistol and ammunition, fishing kit, lip balm, sunscreen, rations, water bladder, water-purification tablets, signal mirror, gloves and pocket knife.
