Last Hope is the story of the often heroic by governments to
provide their aerial warriors with the tools to evade capture when
forced down in enemy controlled territory, as told by the most
visible and visually stunning artifact of this effort, the Blood
Chit. Illustrated with the most comprehensive collection of color
photographs of Blood Chits and related evasion aids ever assembled,
it provides readers an unparalleled opportunity to discover the
beauty and variety of these lifesaving artifacts of war. In
addition to Blood Chits, a number of the beautiful theater-made
souvenir patches in the form of Blood Chits are also illustrated.
This definitive history of Blood Chits from their infancy at the
dawn of the air age through their maturity at the close of World
War II was compiled from accounts provided by more than fifty
veteran airmen and intelligence officers from around the world, and
from more than seventy formerly classified government documents.
Last Hope is a thoroughly annotated and fully illustrated journey
into the secretive world of air crew evasion and escape aides for
the casual reader and serious researcher alike, and is a valuable
resource for the military and aviation enthusiast, collector,
researcher, and museum curator.
