Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Having an inflatable life raft saved the lives of many German pilots. In addition, the Luftwaffe had an effective sea rescue service (Seenotdienst) which rescued pilots from the water with floating-plane aircraft. This significantly increased the morale of German pilots.Adolf Galland recommended that German pilots in trouble over the ocean make an emergency water landing in their aircraft instead of bailing out and parachuting down. The aircraft each carried an inflatable rubber raft which would help the airmen avoid hypothermia from continued immersion in the cold water and increase the time available for rescue.
