"The original edition of this book, issued by the Airlines War Training Institute, was slanted almost entirely at the man in the. plane, the pilot or crew member, who might, through forced landing or other emergency, find himself far from his base in tough country. This new edition of Survival has still more material in it directly applicable to men of the Army Air Forces, but it also contains everything the Infantry Journal could find that would help any man of any branch of the Armed Services who gets into a situation where he has to put up a personal battle for survival. This book contains the principal ways of keeping alive in the isolated places of the world--and of finding your way back to friends. An American who has never seen these harsher regions of the world can't learn, just from this book or from a course of instruction, all that the natives of many different regions know about keeping alive. But he doesn't need to know that much"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
