WWII US AIR FORCE CBI SILK BLOOD CHIT
Silk C.B.I. (China Burma India) blood chit with individually applied Chinese characters. Blood chits were used by U.S. aviators as a way of communicating with non-English-speaking people. Made of leather, cotton, silk, or rayon, they served as a safe-conduct pass for a downed aviator in need of help from local people. 10.5 x 8 inches. Frayed edges.
