AIRMEN'S DINGHIES
Rubber dinghies carried by air
crews of the R. A. F. in a pack
measuring 15 inches by 3 inches are
one of the contributions to Britain's
war effort by United Kingdom man-
ufacturers of corsets, silk stockings,
macintoshes and so on. Like the
carbon dioxide gas used for inflating
the dinghies, which normally goes
overseas in millions of bottles of
Britain's famous table waters, most
of the goods normally produced by
these companies are known to shop-
pers in most parts of the world.
These rubber dinghies have a1 -
ready saved many lives, for in cold
weather airmen 'wearing the "Mae
West" jacket who came down in the
sea could not expect to survive half -
an -hour's immersion,
