Original Item. Only One Available. This is only the second example of the scarce Russian Blood Chit we have offered! Russian blood chits were issued to air crews when their aircraft flew over Soviet-controlled airspace. The rayon blood chit has the American flag printed on both sides with a request in Russian to communicate with the American Military Mission in Moscow.

A blood chit is a notice carried by military personnel and addressed to any civilians who may come across an armed-services member – such as a shot-down pilot – in difficulties. As well as identifying the force to which the bearer belongs as friendly, the notice displays a message requesting that the service member be rendered every assistance.

This example shows heavy wear with some light fraying of the material at the edges. There are normal fold markings, and some wear to the flag on one side. 

This is truly a wonderful example of an original blood chit which helped to identify the downed pilots overseas so that they could be helped. Comes ready to display!
