On our way back from Hershey, we stopped in Dayton to visit the Air Force Museum. We weren’t feeling too hot, so we only visited a couple of areas, but in the Korean War section, I noticed this air dropped life boat. Pretty cool.

Here are images of the information panels accompanying the exhibit:

The lifeboat came equipped with a drop down ladder for boarding. Just pull on the rope, and the ladder drops down.

Each lifeboat came equipped with survival gear and shelter materials:

Fascinating.
