Blood Chit — Your Ticket Home When Everything Goes Wrong
Behind enemy lines with nothing but a Blood Chit and a prayer — it's worked before.
The Blood Chit is one of the most iconic survival items in military aviation history. Written in multiple languages, it identifies the bearer as an American service member and promises a reward to anyone who assists in their safe return. Blood Chits have been carried by aviators since World War II, through Korea, Vietnam, and into modern conflicts, serving as a last resort for downed aircrews in hostile territory. The tradition continues today as a powerful symbol of the bond between aircrew and the promise that their country will do everything possible to bring them home.
Perfect For: Military aviation enthusiasts, survival gear collectors, aircrew members, and history buffs fascinated by escape and evasion traditions.
Every aviator hopes they'll never need it — but every aviator carries one.
