History of Blood Chits
The origins of these chits dates back to the late 18th century. They became best known during WWII when they were used by the pilots of the American Volunteer Group known as the Flying Tigers. In the event their plane went down, these “blood chits” sewn into the lining of the pilot’s flight jacket containing a flag & a message. Written in Chinese it identified the pilot as an American airman. Furthermore a promise was made to reward those who could help him safely return to an Allied base.
