The naval aviator, however, not only runs a greater risk than anyone in the Navy of becoming a “castaway” on one of the islands of the “South Seas” but of becoming a “castaway” under the most adverse of circumstances—an individual alone in an environment completely foreign to any he has ever known and forced to sustain himself with a minimum amount of equipment. The larger the group (within limits) and the more equipment the easier will be the job of returning to base. This pamphlet is, therefore, written from the aviator’s standpoint, having in mind the equipment he has or can get and carry with him in the limited confines of a fighter plane."
